but you know the summer always brought it .

and if you never let me go , well i will never let you down .

but you know the summer always brought it .
that wild and reckless breeze .
and in the backseat , we’re just trying to find some room for our knees .
and in the backseat , we’re just trying to find some room to breathe .

Em F G
and these cowboys all go crazy in the heat .
Em
chasing the lights in all the girls
