Summertime Love
[Verse 1]
Well, I met you the summer we turned nineteen
Your hair was straight and your eyes were blue
Well, I remember them being all out of ice cream
So we grabbed a case of beer and said that will do

[Pre-Chorus]
I still remember our first kiss
I didn't ask permission, but you were glad I did

[Chorus]
Ain't it funny how life works out?
One day, you swear there ain't no doubt
I'm gonna wind up all alone
Then one day, fate finds you
And she's standing there, a pretty pink dress and boots
And you think you found the one
'Cause there ain't nothing better than a summertime love

[Verse 2]
We spent Fourth of July somewhere in East Texas
Cold beer on sunburned lips never felt so good
Skinny dipping in the creek
All of my friends thought you were crazy
But it didn't stop them from joining in
[Pre-Chorus]
And I still miss them to this day
If they were here, they'd agree when I say

[Chorus]
That ain't it funny how life works out?
One day, you swear there ain't no doubt
I'm gonna wind up all alone
Then one day, fate finds you
And she's standing there, a black swimsuit
That's when you think you found the one
'Cause there ain't nothing better than a summertime love

[Post-Chorus]
Than a summertime love

[Bridge]
And I would be lying if I were to say
That I didn't feel like dying the day you drove away
But I know that I'll see your smiling face come May

[Chorus]
And ain't it funny how life works out?
One day, you swear there ain't no doubt
I'm gonna wind up all alone
Then one day, fate finds you
And she's standing there, a wedding dress and boots
And you know you found the one
'Cause there ain't nothing better than a summertime love
[Outro]
It all started with a summertime love
