Summertime Lyrics
Summertime is finally here
That old ballpark, man, is back in gear
Out on 49
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
And 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 93
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
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
That old ballpark, man, is back in gear
Out on 49
Man I can see the lights
Man, just like a long lost friend
You ain't seen in a while
And can't help but smile
Young love and an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo
And a Yoo-Hoo bottle on the floorboard
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
Down at the Deposit and Guarantee
But that swimmin' hole
It's nice and cold
But the boys' hearts still skip a beat
When them girls shimmy off
Them old cutoffs
Young love and an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo
And a Yoo-Hoo bottle on the floorboard
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 they stay the same
Don't matter how old you are
When you know what I'm talkin' 'bout
Yeah baby when you got
Young love and an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo
And a Yoo-Hoo bottle rollin' on the floorboard
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

I can see a lot of my summers in this song - playing baseball, drinking wine and listening to the radio, the Yoo-hoo bottle (I had an addiction in high school), wearing a bathing suit under my clothes to go swimming...the song is supposed to invoke old memories, and it does...nice job, Mr. Chesney.
This song makes me feel like going out with my group of friends just to hang out. He did such a good job putting everything summertime is about into one song!!
i love this song...classic summer kenny song. destined to be a great live song
Such a feel good song.
From beginning to end--pure greatness. Even just the way Kenny hits that high note in the word Yoo-hoo gives me a kind of chill
this song is the total embodiment of summer..omg. such love. But isnt it "her favourite song on the radio..." not "perfect song..." ?
No, it's perfect song. I used to think it was her favorite song, too. Listen a little closer next time, you'll see that it's perfect song.
I always thought it was favorite song also but I always thought it sounded really strange. Makes sense now. The P is a bit silent though. Doesn't take away from the fact that this is an amazing song.
Great song for the summer, I feel like going outside and blasting it out the windows of my car!
Ya I feel like that sometimes too but when summer's over it's so damn dapressing to listen to.
