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 a 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 crushed bottle caps got buried, it's where you spend your first night with your first love before the mercury starts fallin', it's where you spend the last night 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 a 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 somethin' '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 a 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
