Single Review: “All Summer Long” by Kid Rock
by cowboybleau

Kid Rock can be considered a master of all genres, having scored hits in country, rap, rock, pop and even blues and jazz. One song, “Picture”, scored success in most of these at the same time. Once again Kid Rock makes his cross over into country with his latest single from his album “Rock N’ Roll Jesus”. Kid takes a look back at his younger summer days and relives the fun times he had with the boys and the girl listening to their favorite music and just messing around.

Now this song would have just been a useless attempt at a country/rock twist, however the one thing that makes this song shine is that it refers to the song “Sweet Home Alabama” as the song that him and his buddies sang in those careless and wonderful summer days of old and even incorporates the familiar and famous solo into the chorus. Also, as with many recent singles, this song is a timing release meant to make for an enjoyable summer radio hit, and that it is. In the end it is much more rock than country, but at this point it is useless to criticize Kid Rock for his lack of “actual” country sound in his singles due to their cross-over status, so this can just be defined as your typical well timed Kid Rock hit, nothing really that special, but nothing that isn’t worth a listen.(countrycentral.wordpress.com)

Kid Rock - All Summer Long Lyrics

It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
It was summertime in Northern Michigan
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh

Splashing through the sand bar
Talking by the campfire
It’s the simple things in life, like when and where
We didn’t have no internet
But man I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair

[Chorus:]
And we were trying different things
We were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking ’bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long

Catching Walleye from the dock
Watching the waves roll off the rocks
She’ll forever hold a spot inside my soul
We’d blister in the sun
We couldn’t wait for night to come
To hit that sand and play some rock and roll

While we were trying different things
And we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking ’bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
Or how we thought those days would never end
Sometimes I’ll hear that song and I’ll start to sing along
And think man I’d love to see that girl again

[Repeat Chorus x2]

Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
