[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] Sun dips low on a Friday eve Bonfire hums where the oak trees leave Cooler sweats with a ice-cold brew Every soul here’s got nothing to lose Old Ford idles by the tide’s soft creep Country radio bleats through the heat Same old crew, same dumb jokes we repeat Then you stepped out and the air went sweet [Pre-Chorus] You tossed a “hey” like a spark to dry kindling Next thing we’re sprinting for the tide’s cold kissing [Chorus] Cold beer, summer love Hands up under stars above We sang off-key, we were wild and free Just you, my crew, and me Cold beer, summer nights Neon glows where the coastline lights We dove in the waves and lost all control Yeah that’s how we found this summer love [Verse 2] Bare feet spinning in the sand’s warm glow You twirled through firelight, a slow-mo show Salt on your cheek, wind in your tangled hair Girl you stole the breath right out the air We talked ‘til dawn’s first pink peeked over the pier Didn’t wanna name what we both held near Every second felt like a souvenir Like we were more than a lucky clear [Pre-Chorus] You leaned in close, breathed “don’t overthink it” We crashed back in the surf, our laughter sinking [Chorus] Cold beer, summer love Hands up under stars above We sang off-key, we were wild and free Just you, my crew, and me Cold beer, summer nights Neon glows where the coastline lights We dove in the waves and lost all control Yeah that’s how we found this summer love [Bridge] Hey! — raise your drink up to the sky! Hey! — let’s burn this night alive! One more track, don’t you hit rewind We ain’t leaving this side of the line! [Final Chorus] Cold beer, summer love No “what ifs” to weigh us up We lived fast in a moment so right Didn’t care ‘bout the morning light Cold beer, summer nights Hold me tight, don’t say goodnight Even when the fall winds blow it all away… We’ll carry this summer love to the grave [Outro] (Instrumental Solo)
