He 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 
And I was right there beside him all summer long 
And then the time we woke up to find that summer 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 
And my old faded blue jeans 
When you think Tim McGraw 
I hope you think of me 

September saw a month of tears 
And 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 
And 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 
And 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 
And there's a letter left on your doorstep 
And the first thing that you'll read is: 

When you think Tim McGraw 
I hope you think my favorite song 
Someday 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 
And my old faded blue jeans 
When you think Tim McGraw 
I hope you think of me 

Oh, think of me 

He said the way my blue eyes shine 
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night 
I said: "That's a lie"
