v1-
stocked up on tonight's beer & tomorrow's Gatorade
once everybody gets here, we'll be drinking on a dropped tailgate

bring your friends along when we're sitting fireside
singing at the top of our lungs, feeling that summer vibe


CHORUS
when the sun goes down and the stars come out
we'll turn the music up just a little too loud

long days and endless nights
let the good times roll and the bad things go
making memories you're always gonna hold

feeling young and feeling alright
we're in that summer state of mind
got that summer state of mind


v2-
baby's got a suntan, daisy dukes and legs for days

this boy pulls out an old guitar and he starts to play
smiling and laughing not a care in the world
it might not last forever but she'll be his summer girl

(CHORUS)
bridge-
lay back, drink up, make peace, find love

it's summertime
kick back, fire it up, find peace, make love
on a summer night

cause when the tanlines fade and the seasons change
you'll reminisce, you're gonna miss that carefree summer state of mind
(CHORUS)
