Summer Water

Sometimes that lake got angry
 As the lightnin' went and crashed
 Sometimes it was so still
 It looked like a sheet of glass
 But it washed away our beer cans,
 And it washed away our sins
 It talked us out of all our clothes
 And begged us to jump in
 There was magic in the summer water
 Learned to swim in the summer water
 All the small town sons and daughters
 Were baptized a thousand times
 Built fire by it like an altar
 Gave it every song we could offer
 Memories float on it like a bobber
 Out there on the summer water
 ♪
 When a heart was broken
 It was better than a church pew sanctuary
 A lot of long kiss, rocks skip
 Sun drenched orange crush bottle caps got buried
 It's where you spend your first night with
 Your first love before the mercury starts falling
 It's where you spend the last with your first love
 Before somebody goes to college
 There was magic in the summer water
 Learned to swim in the summer water
 All the small town sons and daughters
 Were baptized a thousand times
 Built fire by it like an altar
 Gave it every song we could offer
 Memories float on it like a bobber
 Out there on the summer water
 ♪
 There was something 'bout the summer water
 Every girl that's where you brought her
 It's where you slipped that ring you bought her
 On her shakin' hand
 Built fire by it like an altar
 Gave it every song we could offer
 Memories float on it like a bobber
 Out there on the summer water
 
 Yeah out on the summer water
