Was the start of the summer and the days were getting hotter, yeah
18 was just around the corner
And momma made plans for a party by the pool side.

I blew out the candles, smiling and laughing
Sister speaking on while the camera was flashing
You grabbed my hand right on time.

You looked so cool with your tattoo and your blue jeans
And you said to me:


Chorus:
Letâ??s go far away
Take me anywhere where the wind blows!

No use crying, weâ??re not thinking about tomorrow
We drug out those summer nights
For a long teenage goodbye!


Chasing fireworks flashing down the Carolina shore, yeah
Arms around me and you called me yours

That salty kiss made me forget about my sun burn!
..and barefoot, â?¦ the walk
Got to do some karaoke till they yell last call

Sing with the birds, every season has a turn, turn, turn!

Chorus:

So letâ??s go far away
Take me anywhere where the wind blows!
No use crying, weâ??re not thinking about tomorrow

We drug out those summer nights
For a long teenage goodbye!


Until the new yearâ??s just around the bend
You said weâ??ll never gonna get this time back again!
Back again!


Chorus: (x2)
So letâ??s go far away

Take me anywhere where the wind blows!
No use crying, weâ??re not thinking about tomorrow
We drug out those summer nights

For a long teenage goodbye!
For a long teenage goodbye!
