Long Teenage Goodbye

It was the start of the summer and the days were getting hotter, yeah

18 was just around the corner

And mamma made plans for a party by the pool side

I blew out the candles, smiling and laughing

Sister sneaking wine while the camera was flashing

You grabbed my hand right on time

You looked so cute with your tattoo and your blue jeans

And you said to me

Let's go flying

Take me anywhere the wind blows

No use crying, we're not thinking 'bout tomorrow

We drug out those summer nights

For a long teenage goodbye

Chasing fireworks flashing down the Carolina shore, yeah

Arms around me and you called me yours

That salty kiss made me forget about my sunburn

Snuck in barefoot through a hole the wall

Got to do some karaoke till they yell last call

Sing with the birds, every season has a turn, turn, turn

So let's go flying

Take me anywhere the wind blows

No use crying, we're not thinking 'bout tomorrow

We drug out those summer nights

For a long teenage goodbye

A chill in the air's just around the bend

You said we're never gonna get this time back again

Back again

So let's go flying

Take me anywhere the wind blows

No use crying, we're not thinking 'bout tomorrow

We drug out those summer nights

For a long teenage goodbye

For a long teenage goodbye
