I woke up this morning feeling alive
The sun was shining bright and the world was on fire
I hit the open road with my guitar by my side
I was chasing the sunset and the wind was my guide
Oh, summertime sunshine making me feel so fine
I'm cruising down the highway with the music on my mind
Oh, summertime sunshine shining so bright
I'm living for the moment and the night is gonna be alright
I pulled into a town where the people were dancing in the street
I grabbed my guitar and I joined the beat
We played all night under the stars so bright
We were living for the moment and the music was our light
Oh, summertime sunshine making me feel so fine
I'm cruising down the highway with the music on my mind
Oh, summertime sunshine shining so bright
I'm living for the moment and the night is gonna be alright
You know life is short but the summer's long
Yeah, we'll make some memories and sing our song
We'll chase the sun and dance in the rain
We'll live for the moment and never look back again
Oh, summertime sunshine making me feel so fine
I'm cruising down the highway with the music on my mind
Oh, summertime sunshine shining so bright
I'm living for the moment and the night is gonna be alright
