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
