Julia Knepper - Summer of '17 Lyrics

We could hop on in
Your 1968 Saab Sonnet
Still needs a turning signal
Oh and a headlight
But I don't think twice

We could keep finding some new excuses
To drive around Leonard lakes again
And when I ask
You never tell me
Our destination

This could be the start of a long time
A long, long time

Fireworks on the 4th of July
On rooftops, naming the lights
The August stars
Seemed to rise and fall too quickly
My departure seemed so far

This could be the start of a long time
A long, long time

Summer of '17 was some of the best times
We'd jump in the pond at midnight
Or dance in the barn
To your favorite Isbell record
As the sun sets in the yard

This could be the start of a long time
A long time
This could be the start of a long time
A long, long time

Oh summer of '17
Wasn't enough time
