Rachel and her friends pass by last night
Floatin' on the summer scene
If I'd known the world I know by now
I'd have told you what you meant to me
How I learned about the truth in a Chevrolet van
Sitting in the passenger seat
With your right hand on the radio
The melody's just for me
You're everything that Louisville will forever be
You're everything that Louisville will forever be
Rachel and her friends pass by last night
Swingin' through a summer's dream
If I'd known the ending earlier
I'd have come down from my tree
'Cause I'd never heard a whistle in the wind
'Till you threw it down at my feet
While the songs in the South can change your life
The cardinal sings to thee
You're everything that Louisville will forever be
You're everything that Louisville will forever be
From the drivers' seat
You threw away the keys
You could hear me breathe
I could hear you breathe
Because you told me not to speak
For the silence of the street
I learned how to see
What we cannot seek
Rachel and her friends pass by last night
Floatin' on the summer scene
We don't have to say goodbye
You will always be with me
You're everything that Louisville will forever be
You're everything that Louisville will forever be
