Lyrics
Summerland
v1
I'm sitting on a dock
Over Mobile Bay
Spent my summers as a boy
Right here in this place
Behind Dauphin Island
Lightning flashes over the sea
Channel lights blinking
Past Middle Bay Light
The Julip Point Band
Plays into the night
The warm summer wind
Carries their song to me
pc
Then memories come flooding in
Taking me to a time way back when
You and me, a crush at the beach
Those happy times are still within reach....
When we were singing....
c
Fa la la la hey hey hey yeah
Having fun in Summerland
Life is sweet when you're with me
We're gonna tackle this world hand in hand.
Oh the days are hot but the nights cool down.
We wouldn't trade a minute here for a week back in town.
Fa la la la hey hey hey yeah
Having fun in Summerland
v2
Huddled on the summer house
Watching it rain
Singing Buffett songs
‘Til our voices were strained
Carving our names in the bench
By the old oak tree
Counting shooting stars
On the wharf late at night
Walking you home
Under the oaks by moonlight
With Spanish moss
Hanging down from every tree
pc
That August we laid out our plan
Come back next year and do it all again
But somehow life got in the way
And you never made it back To Mobile Bay
Where we were singing
c
Fa la la la hey hey hey yeah
Having fun in Summerland
Life is sweet when you're with me
We're gonna tackle this world hand in hand.
Oh the days are hot but the nights cool down.
We wouldn't trade a minute here for a week back in town.
Fa la la la hey hey hey yeah
Having fun in Summerland
b
Oh we didn't know how long it would last
But we knew that summer would end
Why'd we have to grow up so fast
I wish I could be there with you again, when we were singing:
c
Fa la la la hey hey hey yeah
Having fun in Summerland
Life is sweet when you're with me
We're gonna tackle this world hand in hand.
Oh the days are hot but the nights cool down.
We wouldn't trade a minute here for a week back in town.
Fa la la la hey hey hey yeah
Having fun in Summerland
…in Summerland….
