“How You Been” Lyrics ^[4]
Song by Dustin Lynch, & Ashley Cooke:

Verse 1: Dustin Lynch
Do you still think about that Ferris wheel first kiss?
First time we was hanging out
That reggae boardwalk band that got you spinnin’ ’round
Your rainbows and my boots kicked off under that moon
When we were swimming, I’m missing it

Chorus: Dustin Lynch
Baby, how you been?
I think about you every now and then
I still go back-to-back in Myrtle Beach, sand in the sheets
Yeah, back when you were mine
Just wondering if that same girl’s on the line
Called to tell you, baby
How you been on my mind

Verse 2: Ashley Cooke
I know it’s been a while
Your voice still sounds the same
It still makes me smile
The way you say my name
When spring turns into summer
Well, you know that’s where I go
I’m glad you called me up ’cause I’ve been dyin’ to know

Chorus: Dustin Lynch & Ashley Cooke
Baby, how you been?
I think about you every now and then
I still go back-to-back in Myrtle Beach, sand in the sheets
Yeah, back when you were mine
Just wondering if that same girl’s on the line
Called to tell you, baby
How you been on my mind

Bridge: Dustin Lynch & Ashley Cooke, Dustin Lynch, Ashley Cooke
Just you picking up, sayin’, “Good, how ’bout you?”
Tells me that you might wanna go back there too
So, baby, how you been? (How you been?)
How you been? (How you been?)

Chorus: Dustin Lynch & Ashley Cook
Baby, how you been?
I think about you every now and then
I still go back-to-back in Myrtle Beach, sand in the sheets
Yeah, back when you were mine
Just wondering if the same girl’s on the line
Called to tell you, baby
How you been on my mind

Outro: Ashley Cooke, Dustin Lynch
How you been?
On my mind
Yeah, you been on my mind
Yeah, how you been?
