| Lyrics: | Summertime Tank top, cut offs, trippin on your flipflops Hit the beach with all your friends White sand Sunshine, tan lines, two piece, lookin fine Cool breeze on your skin Seemed those times would never end I want to feel that way again When you’re only 17 you think it's gonna last Then you find out it goes by so fast Those endless summer days That first kiss is something to remember Next thing you know here comes September Life goes floatin by Like Junebugs in July Memories Late nights, moonlight, holding you so tight All the times that we spent (or good times that we spent) Your Chevrolet Cruisin' round, leavin' town, parkin' with the top down We lost our innocence Seemed those times would never end I want to feel that way again Repeat Chorus That first love Faded fast Like sweet summertime Repeat Chorus Written by Dave Tough/Pete Nanny |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
