Lyrics
Hot Summer's Night
Watermelon on a front porch swing
Listening to the crickets sing
Fireflies in mayonnaise jar
Kicking back staring at the stars
Crescent moon shining down so bright
Nothing left to do on a hot summer night
Cotton candy at a county fair
Ribbons in little girl's hair
The funhouse screams and squeals
While you sneak a kiss on the Ferris wheel
Yellow haze from the fish stand lights
Nothing left to do on a hot summer night
Drive-in movie you want to see
Apples off a local tree
Forever secrets and lifelong bonds
As you skinny dip in a neighbor's pond
Grab your baby and hold her tight
Nothing left to do on a hot summer night
Said Grab your baby and hold her tight
Nothing left to do on a hot summer night
