Analysis of Over the Moon and Under the Stars

It’s a Saturday night special in Nowheresville
The fireflies light the way
Mad Dog and a field road
Is all I have to say
To paint you a picture of misspent youth
And a simpler time and place
We kissed like the night would never end
Trapped in time and space

“What’s Your Name” blasted out the stereo
As we cruised those country roads
Endless miles of corn and beans
No particular place to go
Too old to sit around the house
To young to hang at bars
You held my hand and gave me a ride
Over the moon and under the stars.

Looking back it’s plain to see
“I Ain’t the One” should have been our song
First love can often come with a curse
We didn’t do anything wrong
“Call me the Breeze” we both sang out
Though our love ended way too soon
Never forget the time we had
Under the stars and over the moon
