Where it all began

It was a 102, nothin' to do

Man it was hot, so we jumped in

We were summertime sippin', sippin'

Sweet tea kissin' off of your lips

T-shirt drippin', drippin' wet

How could I forget?

Watchin' that blonde hair swing

To every song I'd sing

You were California beautiful

I was playin' everything but cool

I can still hear that sound

Of every wave crashin' down

Like the tears we cried that day we had to leave

It was everything we wanted it to be

The summer of 19 you and me

We had our first dance in the sand

It was one hell of a souvenir

Tangled up, so in love

You said, let's just stay right here

Till the sun starts creepin', creepin' up

Right then I knew

Just what you were thinkin', thinkin' of

When I looked at you

Watchin' that blonde hair swing

To every song I'd sing

You were California beautiful

I was playin' everything but cool

I can still hear that sound

Of every wave crashin' down

Like the tears we cried that day we had to leave

It was everything we wanted it to be

The summer of 19 you and me

You and me

Watchin' that blonde hair swing

To every song I'd sing

You were California beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

Watchin' that blonde hair swing

To every song I'd sing

You were California beautiful

I was playin' everything but cool

I can still hear that sound

Of every wave crashin' down

Like the tears we cried that day we had to leave

It was everything we wanted it to be

The summer of 19 you and me

First week, Myrtle beach

Where it all began
