It's a Mellencamp song watching fireworks pop
From an old truck bed
It's a strawberry blonde shooting lemon drops
With cherry chapstick
It's cutoff jeans, Skoal can rings,
And a late night kiss
By a creek bed that you jump on in
With your clothes on a tree branch
And it's late nights, cold Bud Lights,
And a warm summer wind.
Tank tops and flip-flops in the sun and the sand.
It's backstage passes and cheap sunglasses,
First loves and best friends
Yeah, the best things in life you'll ever find
Are made for summertime
It's a blue sky over green grass
Sitting in an old lawn chair
By a lakeside sitting in the sunshine
Not a worry in your head.
It's a 'sneaking outside by your window' night
To meet your baby on the front lawn,
Put in that road trip mixtape, Skynard to George Straight,
Crank it up and sing along.
And it's late nights, cold Bud Lights,
And a warm summer wind.
Tank tops and flip-flops in the sun and the sand.
It's backstage passes and cheap sunglasses,
First loves and best friends
Yeah, the best things in life you'll ever find
Are made for summertime
Made for summertime,
Made for summertime,
It's backstage passes and cheap sunglasses,
First loves and best friends
Yeah, the best things in life you'll ever find
Are made for summertime
