My daddy knew an old timer, had a shop called the Seasider

Looking for a couple fellas, to help him rent chairs and umbrellas

You showed up in July, in a red bikini, with blue eyes

You rented cabana three, and when you went to get a drink

When your friend said my friend thinks you’re hot

Later on at a local spot ya laid the first one on my lips

And there’s been about a thousand since

Day one was kiss, you cried on 54

Now there’s a broken heart and a truck parked about mile from airport

Somebody prayed the good Lord never made September

Somebody had to catch that nonstop back to Denver

Somebody had to sit on the hood of that Chevy

Wavin' goodbye when he really ain't ready

It’s crazy how fast a why can’t it last can fly

But its a deep south, beach town, tale as old as time

Somebody had to be somebody’s summer,

And you were mine

We pulled a bunch of all nighters, chased down every bonfire

Drove your daddy crazy, your double dog dare made me

Do a backflip off of sunset pier, having the time of our lives now we’re

a thousand miles apart and I’m the only one still here

Somebody prayed the good Lord never made September

Somebody had to catch that nonstop back to Denver

Somebody had to sit on the hood of that Chevy

Wavin' goodbye when he really ain't ready

It’s crazy how fast a why can’t it last can fly

But its a deep south, beach town, tale as old as time

Somebody had to be somebody’s summer,

And you were mine

Somebody prayed the good Lord never made September

Somebody had to catch that nonstop back to Denver

Somebody had to sit on the hood of that Chevy

Wavin' goodbye when he really ain't ready

It’s crazy how fast a why can’t it last can fly

But its a deep south, beach town, tale as old as time

Somebody had to be somebody’s summer,

And you were mine
