The first single released to Country radio from the CAPTAINS & COWBOYS CD, this is a fun-loving tune I penned with my buddy Tim Buppert on an early spring day when all you want to do is skip school, skip work and play hookey. We were hanging out in east Nashville wishing we were out on the water when this tune started rolling. You have to love it, Tim's the only one I know who can put 'druthers' in a song seamlessly. It was a ball trading leads with Dan Baird in the studio on this one.
LYRICS:
(Writer: Mike Aiken, Tim Buppert)
There's flies on the window sill sweat on my beer
I could turn these britches into shorts right here
You can feel it in the air it won't be long
And I'll be living in a summertime song
Gonna fire up the boat and kick up a wake
Gonna drown my troubles there in that lake
I've been waiting for this day all winter long
Soon I'll be living in a summertime song
A summertime song
Makes you wish that one day would last your whole life long
It can't be wrong
If it makes everybody in the whole world want to sing along
With a summertime song
We're dancing in the sand in the full moon light
There's a fire on the beach and it feels alright
We'll be grilling and a chilling there all night long
Everybody's living in a summertime song
Summertime song
Makes you wish that one day would last your whole life long
It can't be wrong
If it makes everybody in the whole world want to sing along
To a summertime song
Well I wish everyday could be this way give me sun, sand and a beer
If I had my druthers I'd forget all the others it'd be 85 degrees all year
Like a summertime song
Makes you wish that one day would last your whole life long
It can't be wrong
If it makes everybody in the whole world want to sing along
To a summertime song
