[Verse 1] Bare feet on the dock Line in my hand Papa's old tackle box Rusty and bent Blue jeans rolled up Mud on my toes We'd spend all day Where the cattails grow [Pre-Chorus] And the world felt wide At the edge of that pond Every little splash Kept us hanging on [Chorus] Pondside summer, back when we were kids Sunshine on our faces, doing all we did Fishing in the water, dreaming way too big Pondside summer, that's where it all began (pondside summer) [Verse 2] Pickup trucks shining In the county dust Tailgate down Just a bunch of us Cute girls laughing By the roadside fence One look and I lost My words again [Pre-Chorus] And the air got hot When she smiled my way I still can see it Like it was today [Chorus] Pondside summer, back when we were kids Sunshine on our faces, doing all we did Fishing in the water, dreaming way too big Pondside summer, that's where it all began (pondside summer) [Bridge] Now the years roll by But I still go back To that old dirt bank And the tire tracks One cast, one breeze And I'm twelve again With a grin and a rod And the whole day ahead [Chorus] Pondside summer, back when we were kids Sunshine on our faces, doing all we did Fishing in the water, dreaming way too big Pondside summer, that's where it all began (pondside summer) Pondside summer, still lives in my skin Sunshine on my memory, pulling me in Pickup trucks and smiles, that old pond grin Pondside summer, that's where it all began (pondside summer)
