lyrics

Well we’re jumping off the docks
We’re going for a swim
We’re letting our kites rise up in the wind

We’re stepping outside
We’re headed out the door
We’re dressing in nothing but t-shirts and shorts

It’s looking good it’s looking all right
You know what I’m talking about ya’ll
We’ve been waiting for the first day of summer
Since the first day of fall

Well this winter was way too cold for anyone to take
But now the leaves are green
We're gonna drive down to the lake

I’m gonna start me a fire
Cook up some burgers and some dogs
Watch the fireflies and just sit on a log

It’s feeling warm it’s feeling just right
You know we’re gonna have us a ball
We’ve been waiting for the first day of summer
Since the first day of fall

We’ve been waiting for the first day summer since the fall brought a chill to the land
We’ve been waiting for the first day summer since we all started losing our tans
We’ve been waiting for the first day summer since I don't even know when
But when the ice starts melting I’m a brand new man
I think some of you people understand

It’s looking good it’s looking all right
You know what I’m talking about ya’ll
We’ve been waiting for the first day of summer
Since the first day of fall

The first day of summer
Since the first day of fall

The first day of summer
Since the first day of fall
