Black Cats Summer
Lyrics and Music © Chelbie Birdwell

Verse 1:
I wore your t-shirt every day
That summer from May to July
You'd throw your shorts on, we'd head to the lake
Just off Loop 45

And when the sun set, we'd find a place
And light up the whole night

Chorus:
We had black cats going and shooting up sparks
While fireworks were starting
On the hood of your car
And "American Girl" was blaring from the stereo
We were running from growing up
And hiding from fall
And falling in love in the middle of it all
And that black cats summer never did let us go

Verse 2:
I was aware it would come to an end
But who knew when that would be
So we lived it up like we wouldn't again
And set that summer free

And when the night came, we'd lay on the pier
And turn the water into fire

Chorus:
We had black cats going and shooting up sparks
While fireworks were starting
On the hood of your car
And "Livin' on Love" was blaring from the stereo
We were running from growing up
And hiding from fall
And falling in love in the middle of it all
And that black cats summer never did let us go

Repeat Chorus:
We had black cats going and shooting up sparks
While fireworks were starting
On the hood of your car
And "Born to Run" was blaring from the stereo
We were running from growing up
And hiding from fall
And falling in love in the middle of it all
And that black cats summer never did let us go
