Look at that road, look at that sunset
Look at that girl waitin′ on the porch
It's gonna be a cold SeptemberTell me, boy, what are you waitin′ for?
You only get so many summers
You only get so many summers
So go to that party, light that fire
Hold her hand in the hot moonlight
Lose track of time, pull an all-nighter
When the sun comes up, kiss her goodnight
You only get so many summers
You only get so many summers
So swing for the fence, jump in the water
Soak it all in, watch all the bobbers
Play the songs on ten
Tell her you love her
Wake up and do it again
You only get so many summers
You only get so many summers
I'd make money cuttin' grass
Mama′d make her sweet tea
I was growin′ up fast and eventually
When Dad would wanna play catch
I'd say maybe some other time
I wanna grab that kid, say are you out of your mind?
You only get so many summers
You only get so many summers
He-e-ey
I saw a man in the park, 80 years on his face
He was watchin′ his grandkids and my kids play
Said you'll wake up tomorrow and that car will be packed
They′ll roll off to college, and they'll never look back
You only get so many summers
You only get so many summers
You only get so many summers
So swing for the fence
Jump in the water
(In the water, water, water)
Play the songs on ten
Tell her you love her
Wake up and do it again
Soak it all in, watch all the bobbers (watch all the bobbers)
Do it again
You only get so many summers
