Look at that road, look at that sunset
Look at that girl waiting on the porch
It's gonna be a cold September
Tell 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 10, tell her you love her
Then 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)

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
Play the songs on 10, tell her you love her
Wake up and do it again
Soak it all in, watch all the bobbers

(You only get so many summers)
