  • Like the Ferris wheel goes around and around
    Well the trouble with up is there's always a down
    First I'm holding your hand and we're on the boardwalk
    There's heaven right here on these streets and these docks
    But the sun keeps setting and the days go fast
    And the sand on the beach is like an hourglass
    And I can just feel it, I'm slipping away
    And babe, I can already say that

    As long as I live, whatever I do
    As great as it is you know what's a bummer
    I ain't never gonna beat this summer with you
    Baby, it's true
    The taste in your kiss is so bittersweet
    I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you

    Before you know it it's all gonna stop
    They'll be rolling up windows and putting up tops
    Be a cold wind blowing and leaves through the air
    And you won't find a tan line anywhere
    Maybe I know that it ain't over yet
    So let's make the most of what we have left
    But it's hard living for this moment we're in
    Knowing it's all gonna end

    As long as I live, whatever I do
    As great as it is you know what's a bummer
    I ain't never gonna beat this summer with you
    Baby, it's true
    The taste in your kiss is so bittersweet
    I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you

    Looking at you, girl, standing there,
    Got your wayfarer's on and the sun in your hair
    And just like the song in a seashell, you'll be stuck in mind
    Bouncing around in my head
    And baby, I can tell

    As long as I live, whatever I do
    As great as it is you know what's a bummer
    I ain't never gonna beat this summer with you
    Baby, it's true
    The taste in your kiss is so bittersweet
    I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you Writer/s: Brad Douglas Paisley, Chris Dubois, Luke Robert Laird
