Lyrics of Tim Mcgraw - “Tim McGraw” is the debut single of American country pop artist Taylor Swift. She was sixteen years old when she debuted with the song, which she co-wrote with Liz Rose. The song tells of Taylor’s remembrance of a summer love, and how an un-named song by country music artist Tim McGraw (identified later on as “Can’t Tell Me Nothin’” from his Live Like You Were Dying album[2]) brings back memories of that love.
Swift has said she wrote the song during math class in high school. The song, she says, is about her and her boyfriend, when he was moving away to go to college, and they would eventually have to break up. Taylor goes on to say, “I started thinking of all the things that reminded me of him.” The music video has been viewed more than 25 million times on YouTube.

Lyrics for Song: Tim McGraw
You said the way my blue eyes shined,
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: "That's a lie"
Just a boy in a Chevy truck,
That had a tendency of gettin' stuck,
On backroads at night
An' I was right there beside him all summer long
An' then the time we woke up to find that summer'd gone
But when you think: Tim McGraw,
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long:
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness,
I hope you think: "That little black dress"
Think of my head on your chest,
An' my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw,
I hope you think of me
September saw a month of tears,
An' thankin' God that you weren't here,
To see me like that
But in a box beneath my bed,
Is a letter that you never read,
From three summers back
It's hard not to find it all a little bitter sweet,
An' lookin' back on all of that, it's nice to believe:
When you think: Tim McGraw,
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long:
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness,
I hope you think: "That little black dress"
Think of my head on your chest,
An' my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw,
I hope you think of me
And I'm back for the first time since then:
I'm standin' on your street,
An' there's a letter left on your doorstep,
An' the first thing that you'll read:
Is: "When you think: Tim McGraw,
"I hope you think my favorite song"
Some day you'll turn your radio on,
I hope it takes you back to that place
When you think happiness,
I hope you think: "That little black dress"
Think of my head on your chest,
An' my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw,
I hope you think of me
Oh, think of me,
Mmmm
You said the way my blue eyes shined,
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: "That's a lie"
Taylor Swift Mine Lyrics: This song puts together a lot of the wise ahead of her years actions of song technique that mark her as a bright pop artist: The ready for duet personalization use of an hazy you rather than a name; the parallelism that makes a song attractive to both the you and I; the ear for playful hooks like “I was a flight risk with a fear of falling” and “careless man’s careful daughter”; the detail of the verses, which paint brilliant portraits of being young and in love; the knowledge that “You are the best thing / That’s ever been mine” needs that space in the middle; the pacing of the beautiful, climactic bridge into the last hook; the sense to change that last use of the hook so the paramour can sing; and the confidence to let an echoed “(Hold on)” anchor the outro when it hadn’t been used before.
I don’t know how much of this is her and how much is other Nashville pros, but that it could probably be Swift alone speaks volumes about her talent as a songwriter. And, it should be noted, her ability as the banker of these precious-as-a-music-box stories has grown by leap and bounds. If Taylor Swift can mature and change as her generation does, that generation—my generation—will remember her as its leading music maker.
I’m not posting the MP3 because Taylor’s label is the sort to be employing alphabet boys, but this is well worth snagging from iTunes or Googling.
Mine Lyrics by Taylor Swift
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
You were in college, workin’ part time, waitin’ tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk, with a fear of fallin’
Wonderin’ why we bother with love if it never lasts
I say, “Can you believe it?”
As we’re lyin’ on the couch
The moment I could see it
Yes, yes, I can see it now
You remember, we were sittin’ there, by the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
Flash forward and we’re takin’ on the world together
And there’s a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I’m guarded
You say we’ll never make my parents’ mistakes
But we got bills to pay
We got nothin’ figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes, this is what I thought about
You remember, we were sittin’ there, by the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
Oh-oh-oh
And I remember that fight, 2:30 a.m.
You said ‘verything was slippin’ right out of our hands
I ran out cryin’, and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye
‘Cause that’s all I’ve ever known
Then you took me by surprise
You said, “I’ll never leave you alone”
You said, “I remember how we felt sittin’ by the water
And every time I look at you, it’s like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughter
She is the best thing that’s ever been mine”
(Hold on, we’ll make it last)
(Hold on, never turn back)
(Hold on) You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
(Hold on) You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
(Hold on) Do you believe it?
(Hold on) We’re gonna make it now
(Hold on) And I can see it
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) (I can see it now)
