He had a freezer full of otter pops
Push ups, drum sticks and dreamsicles
And a paint chipped change box
Full of sticky quarters, dimes and nickles
It was automatic when we heard that song
Run home and get your money before he's gone.

Looking underneath the Chrysler, in the driveway
Hey, dad whatchya doing
The smell of summer twilight
There was always somebody barbeque'n
Truth or dare with the kids on our road
Hide and seek, til your mama called you home.

Sweet summer, yeah, I remember that
Sweet summer, let me take you back.

Both our moms were best friends
She was, the youngest, of three daughters
An angel on a pink Schwinn, my first crush
Til' this day, I aint forgot her.
Those days were never too long
And never too hot
And Even though I was out of school
I was learning a lot.

Sweet summer, yeah, I remember that
Sweet summer, let me take you back.

There's not a day that I don't remember
From the end of May to the first of September.

Sweet summer, yeah, I remember that
Sweet summer, let me take you back
Sweet summer, yeah, I remember that
Sweet summer, let me take you back...
