It was our first week at Myrtle Beach, where it all began
It was a hundred and two, nothing to do, man, it was hot
So we jumped in, we were summertime sippin', sippin'
Sweet tea kissin' off of your lips
T-shirt drippin', drippin' wet
How could I forget?
Watchin' that barge in sway
To every song I sang
You were California beautiful
I was playin' everything but cool
I can still hear that sound
Of every wave crashin' down
Like the tears we cried
That day we had to leave
It was everything we wanted it to be
The summer of nineteen, you and me
You and me
We had our first dance in the sand
It was one of a souvenir
Tangled up, so in love
You said let's just stay right here
Till the sun starts creepin', creepin' up
Right then I knew
Just what you were thinkin', thinkin' of
When I looked at you
Watchin' that barge in sway
To every song I sang
You were California beautiful
I was playin' everything but cool





I can still hear that sound
Of every wave crashin' down
Like the tears we cried
That day we had to leave
It was everything we wanted it to be
The summer of nineteen, you and me
Yeah
You and me
You and me
Watchin' that blonde hair swing
To every song I'd sing
You were California beautiful
Beautiful
Watchin' that blonde hair swing
To every song I'd sing
You were California beautiful
I was playin' everything but cool
I can still hear that sound
Of every wave crashin' down
Like the tears we cried
That day we had to leave
It was everything we wanted it to be
The summer of nineteen, you and me
First week, Myrtle Beach
Where it all began
