Not that long ago
You came into this town
A tired lonesome dirty cowboy
Listen to me now
I'm singing of love
All because I was struck by lightning
It's been a long long time
As not everything goes by 
Now I'm thinking diamond rings
And her face listening in sunlight
Hanging on to this summer love
Hanging on to this world
Hanging on to this summer love
Hang on ??
Now it's time to go
Time to make my move
Take my courage by the hand
Talk to her and make her understand
All I want is you
I feel it in my bones
California highway with a topdown is calling out to this
Before I let this unravel
Hanging on to this summer love
Hanging on to this world
Hanging on to this summer love
Hang on ??
Well now getting struck by lightning
Never seemed quite so entacing
I'm here if you want
You can keep me ??
Giving you a chance to take ??
Time is now
It won't be long till the top's down on the California highway
For I let things unravel
Hanging on to this summer love
Hanging to this world
Hanging on to this summer love
Hang on ??
Hanging on to this love
Hanging on to this love
Hanging on
I'm hanging on to this summer love
