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
