When I was just eight years old
I’d take my bike and hit the road
Suppertime by the time I’d get back home
My dog Skeeter and a climbing tree
I’d read a book, set my mind free
I was Wonder Woman in the yard
Dirt under my nails, playing hard
It was a good day
Yeah, that was a good day
You only get so many summers
So many glasses of sweet tea
So many calls home to your mama
Soak it up, make a memory
Life’s a short trip ‘round the sun
Full of love and wonder
Blue skies will fade to red
‘Cause you only get
So many summers
Thirty-four, got a call from a girlfriend
Dropped it all, drove to the beach for the weekend
And I didn’t know it then
That it’d be the last time
Drank margaritas till the stars said goodnight
Laughed and cried about how time flies
And damn, it was hard to say goodbye
But that was a good day
Yeah, that was a good day
You only get so many summers
So many walks in the sand
So many “I love you"s
So say ’em when you can
Life’s a short trip ‘round the sun
Full of love and wonder
Blue skies will fade to red
‘Cause you only get
So many summers
So many summers
That’s what makes it sweet, I guess
You only get
So many summers
So many summers
