Lyrics

[Intro]
Feels somethin' like summertime
Top down and nothin' but time
Radio's on and you're by my side
It feels somethin' like summertime
[Verse 1]
These days, life goes like this
Wake up, check that off of some list
Gotta be a little somethin' more than this
At the bottom of my coffee cup
[Verse 2]
I keep a postcard in the back of my mind
Of white sand, sunshine
And you shinin' like a brand new dime
That's keepin' me from givin' up
Thinkin' like I had enough
[Chorus]
You make me feel somethin' like summertime
Top down and nothin' but time
Radio's on and you're by my side
Feels somethin' like summertime
Like that first slow dance and that first long kiss
There ain't nothin', baby, better than this
It's like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine
It feels somethin' like summertime
[Verse 3]
Sum-sum-summertime
[Verse 4]
I was a warm breeze with a cool tan
Life mapped out on the back of my hand
When, when God was laughin', I was makin' plans
But he didn't laugh when I found you
There's a Heaven, baby, you're the proof
[Chorus]
You make me feel somethin' like summertime
Top down and nothin' but time
Radio's on and you're by my side
Feels somethin' like summertime
Like that first slow dance and that first long kiss
There ain't nothin', baby, better than this
It's like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine
It feels somethin' like summertime
[Verse 5]
Sum-sum-summertime, ha!
Yeah
[Chorus]
Feels somethin' like summertime
Top down and nothin' but time
Radio's on for me and my valentine
It's like that first slow dance and that first long kiss
There ain't nothin', baby, better than this
It's like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine
[Chorus]
Feels somethin' like summertime
Top down and nothin' but time
Radio's on and you're by my side
It feels somethin' like summertime
[Outro]
Feels somethin' like summertime
Top down and nothin' but time
Just like summertime
Radio's on and you're by my side
Feels somethin' like summertime
Sum-sum-summertime
First slow dance and that first long kiss
Feels something like summertime
