Was the start of the summer and the days were getting hotter, yeah
Eighteen was just around the corner and mama made plans for a party by the poolside
I blew out the candles, smiling and laughing, sister speaking wine while the camera was flashing
You grabbed my hand right on time, you looked so cute with your tattoo and your blue jeans and you said to me
Let's go flying, take me home
Give me where the wind blows, no use crying, we'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 sunburned
Snuck in barefoot to a hole in the wall, got to do some karaoke till the last call
Sang with the birds, every season has a turn, turn, turn
So let's go
I'm flying, take me in, give me where the wind blows
No use crying, we're not thinking about tomorrow
We drug out those summer nights for a long teenage goodbye

A chill in the air, just around the bend
You said we're never gonna get this time back again
Back again
So let's go flying
Crying, take me anywhere the wind blows
No use crying, we're not thinking about tomorrow
We drug out those summer nights
For a long teenage goodbye
For a long teenage goodbye
For a long teenage goodbye
