Kenny Chesney Summertime Lyrics
Summertime is finally here
That old ballpark, man, is back in gear
Out on forty-nine
Man I can see the lights
School’s out and the nights roll in
Man, just like a long lost friend
You ain’t seen in a while
You can’t help but smile
And it’s two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love and an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo
And a Yoo-Hoo bottle on the floorboard
Perfect song on the radio
Sing along ’cause it’s one we know
It’s a smile, it’s a kiss
It’s a sip of wine, it’s summertime
Sweet summertime
Temperature says ninety-three
Down at the Deposit and Guarantee
But that swimmin’ hole
It’s nice and cold
Bikini bottoms underneath
But the boys’ hearts still skip a beat
When them girls shimmy off
Them old cutoffs
And it’s two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love and an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo
And a Yoo-Hoo bottle on the floorboard
Perfect song on the radio
Sing along ’cause it’s one we know
It’s a smile, it’s a kiss
It’s a sip of wine, it’s summertime
Sweet summertime
The more things change (things change)
The more they stay the same (the more they stay the same)
Don’t matter how old you are
When you know what I’m talkin’ ’bout
Yeah, baby when you got
Two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love and an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo
And a Yoo-Hoo bottle rollin’ on the floorboard
Perfect song on the radio
Sing along ’cause it’s one we know
It’s a smile, it’s a kiss
It’s a sip of wine, it’s summertime
Sweet summertime
