Summers Like That [Verse 1] Barefoot on a dirt road, kickin’ up dust Hot July sun, yeah, it’s just us Handlebars wobbled down that gravel track Knees got scraped but I still came back Creek was cold, but we’d dive right in Sunburned cheeks and a wide-mouthed grin Life was simple, the days were wide The whole world fit in a county mile ride [Chorus] Summers like that, they don’t come twice Bologna on white bread, corner cut nice Orange fingers from Doritos in a crinkled bag Mountain Dew buzz, let the screen door sag We swam ‘til the streetlights told us to go Still feel that sunshine in my soul Yeah, summers like that made me who I am I’d give anything just to live ‘em again [Verse 2] Mama in the garden, wide-brim hat Plantin’ flowers where the daisies sat Handed me a trowel, said “Help me, hon” We’d plant ‘til the shade from the porch was gone Dog chased the hose in the midday heat Laughin’ ‘til we both fell in the grass in defeat Nothing to do, nowhere to be That was the life that was good to me [Chorus] Summers like that, they don’t come twice Bologna on white bread, corner cut nice Orange fingers from Doritos in a crinkled bag Mountain Dew buzz, let the screen door sag We swam ‘til the streetlights told us to go Still feel that sunshine in my soul Yeah, summers like that made me who I am I’d give anything just to live ‘em again [Verse 3] Dad had a van with a door gone bad Rattled every bump in the road we had One July day, big grin on his face Brand new truck took that old van’s place Piled in the back for a ride through town Every horn honked when we rolled around Dust clouds followed us mile after mile Radio playin’, whole town smiled [Final Chorus] Summers like that, they don’t come twice Bologna on white bread, corner cut nice Orange fingers from Doritos in a crinkled bag Mountain Dew buzz, let the screen door sag We swam ‘til the streetlights told us to go Still feel that sunshine in my soul Yeah, summers like that made me who I am I’d give anything just to live ‘em again
