| Sometimes that lake got angry, as the lightnin' went and crashed
|
| Sometimes it was so still, it looked like a sheet of glass
|
| But it washed away our beer cans, and it washed away our sins
|
| It talked us out of all our clothes, and begged us to jump in
|
| There was magic in the summer water
|
| Learned to swim in the summer water
|
| All the small town sons and daughters
|
| Were baptized a thousand times
|
| Built fire by it like an altar
|
| Gave it every song we could offer
|
| Memories float on it like a bobber
|
| Out there on the summer water
|
| When a heart was broken, it was better than a church pew sanctuary
|
| A lot of long kiss, rocks skip, sun drenched orange crush bottle caps got buried
|
| It’s where you spend your first night with your first love before the mercury
|
| starts fallin'
|
| It’s where you spend the last with your first love, before somebody goes to
|
| college
|
| There was magic in the summer water
|
| Learned to swim in the summer water
|
| All the small town sons and daughters
|
| Were baptized a thousand times
|
| Built fire by it like an altar
|
| Gave it every song we could offer
|
| Memories float on it like a bobber
|
| Out there on the summer water
|
| There was somethin' 'bout the summer water
|
| Every girl that’s where you brought her
|
| It’s where you slipped that ring you bought her
|
| On her shakin' hand
|
| Built fire by it like an altar
|
| Gave it every song we could offer
|
| Memories float on it like a bobber
|
| Out there on the summer water
|
| Yeah out on the summer water |
