Casey Ahern - He Was Summer Lyrics

He was working at the barbecue place
On the far side of the main stage
And I happened to order a burger

Next thing we're tearing up the town
Just having fun and heading down to the fair
And it goes from there

He was a sweet hot fudge sundae with a cherry on top
A moonlit country road and a red ragtop
That song stuck in my head all day
Afternoons on the porch swing laughing as it sways
He was summer

We would sit on the benches outside
Of every concert every night
But sometimes we could afford the tickets

I would say I wish I lived here
And his kiss would taste like root beer
And he'd say let's not think about that now
Let's just enjoy the sound

He was starry nights on the rooftop and wearing his shirt
Dancing in the back row of a country concert
Top of the world on the Ferris wheel
His hand in mine, man it's still so real
He was summer

He was standing on the gravel of the driveway
Even though it was summer it still brought rain
I always knew it would go by fast
And now in my rearview it reflects back

To starry nights on the rooftop and wearing his shirt
Dancing in the back row of a country concert
Top of the world on the Ferris wheel
His hand in mine, man it's still so real
He was summer

He was a sweet hot fudge sundae with a cherry on top
Riding round in his red ragtop
What a bummer
I miss that summer
