When i stand straight and tall i can almost see the place

school is almost out

through the woods how we would race

to high summer, high summer

the places that i hid

when i was just a kid

warm beer and fireflies

i know a place where we can be alone

we never made a sound

ain’t it strange when your almost grown

in high summer, high summer

on graduation day

seems so far away

high summer, high summer

on independence day

you get drunk and you roam around

these streets of a young boys town.

just waitin while you take your pick.

while you decide, i'll catch a ride,

but meet me at the five and dime.

once last kiss

and then we'll say good bye

to summer time

to summer time.

now im all growed up

winter's turned the trees from green to black.

now and then i'll feel the scar

never fails to take me back

to high summer, high summer,

oh how id like to go,

but that was long ago.

high summer high summer,

oh how id like to go,

but that was long ago.

high summer high summer,

oh how id like to go,

but that was long ago.

high summer high summer,
