Summer's here, bring it on
Another year, one more beer, another song
Comes on the radio, so loud and clear
Your whisper comes in my ear

I follow like a season
Not afraid of what I'm feeling, oh

I'm swinging with my eyes closed
Got my hair down a wide open road
I'm swinging with my eyes closed
Only god knows how far it goes

Fist up in the air
Oh like we don't care
Swinging

Life is short, nights are long
Nothing's sure in this world till we're gone
Fear disappears each time I close my eyes
I kiss you once (kiss kiss), I kiss you twice

It's in the air we're breathing
Oh can you taste the freedom, oh oh

I'm swinging with my eyes closed
Got my hair down a wide open road
I'm swinging with my eyes closed
Only god knows how far it goes

Fist up in the air
Oh like we don't care
Swinging

(Only god knows how far it goes
With my eyes closed, got my hair down
A wide open road)

I'm swinging with my eyes closed
Only god knows how far it goes

Fist up in the air
Oh like we don't care
Fist up in the air
Oh like we don't care
Swinging
