Feels something like summertime Top down ain't nothing but time Radio's on and you're by my side Feels something like summertime These days life goes like this Wake up, check that off of some list Gotta be a little something more than this At the bottom of my coffee cup I keep a postcard in the back of my mind White sand, sunshine And you're shining like a brand new dime That's keeping me from giving up Thinking like I had enough You make me feel something like summertime Top down ain't nothing but time Radio's on and you're by my side Feels something like summertime Like that first slow dance and that first long kiss There ain't nothing baby better then this It's like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine It feels something like summertime Summertime I was a warm breeze with a cool tan Life mapped out on the back of my hand When I was laughing I was making plans But I didn't laugh when I found you If there's a heaven baby you're the proof You make me feel something like summertime Top down ain't nothing but time Radio's on and you're by my side Feels something like summertime Like that first slow dance and that first long kiss There ain't nothing baby better then this It's like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine It feels something like summertime Summertime Feel something like summertime Top down ain't nothing but time Radio's on for me and my valentine Like that first slow dance and that first long kiss There ain't nothing baby better then this It's like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine (yeah) Feels something like summertime Top down ain't nothing but time Radio's on and you're by my side, Feels something like summertime Just like summer time Summertime Something like summertime
