I wake up every morning,
With the day in front of me,
Kiss my girl so softly,
As I head out to the beach,
Just living for the summer,
Cause the good times never stop,
You know I'm thankful for what I've got,

I drop by the surfing hang out,
Say what's up to my boys,
Oh man, I love my friends,
And the life that we enjoy,
Just laughing about the old days,
Yeah the good times never stop,
You know I'm thankful for what I've got,

Summer! The best times of our lives,
Freedom! At the beach in a young July,
True Love! And things that can't be bought,
Make me thankful for what I've got,

Stay at home for the weekend,
With my girl for a movie night,
Yeah, money doesn't matter when your baby is by your side.
She's kissing me all over,
Hope these good times never stop,
You know I'm thankful for what I've got,

Summer! The best times of our lives,
Freedom! At the beach in a young July,
True Love! And things that can't be bought,
Make me thankful for what I've got,

Raise your glasses high,
To the nights and the good times,
Yeah this one's for the homies,
And all the one's who mean the most,
From coast to coast,

Summer! The best times of our lives,
Freedom! At the beach in a young July,
True Love! And things that can't be bought,
Make me thankful for what I've got,

Summer! The best times of our lives,
Freedom! At the beach in a young July,
True Love! And things that can't be bought,
Make me thankful for what I've got
