Cheap sunglasses and a ball cap backwards
Standin in the summer sun
Toes in the sand and a July tan
Oh baby tell me whats not to love
Your momma didn't like me or the way that you loved me
She prayed it was a summer thing
You though I was wild and I didn't say it at the time
But you're my first time for everything

But there's nothin I'd change about those days
You're the sweetest thing about my past
There's a part of me that hopes you found your dreams
And you're happy wherever you're at
There's a part of me that wants that summer back

We burned both end of that beach town
Till they shut down the middle way
We tried to hold on but that warm breeze was blowin
Yeah it sure changed everything

But there's nothin I'd change about those days
You're the sweetest thing about my past
There's a part of me that hopes you found your dreams
And you're happy wherever you're at
There's a part of me that wants that summer back

There's a picture of you and me I keep
It reminds me that we were real
Girl I sure do miss that beach
And the way you made me feel

But there's nothin I'd change about those days
You're the sweetest thing about my past
There's a part of me that hopes you found your dreams
And you're happy wherever you're at
There's a part of me that wants that summer
There's a part of me still wants that summer
There's a part of me that wants that summer back

I want that summer back baby oohhh
