So Many Summers

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 waiting 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

Wake up and do it again

You only get so many summers

You only get so many summers

I'd make money cutting grass

Mama'd make her sweet tea

I was growing 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 watching 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

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

Watch all the bobbers

You only get so many summers
