Summer Never Said GoodByeRR

A nostalgic country-rock ride back to bonfires, first kisses, and unforgettable nights. Original lyrics written by Doug Long ©2026 Verse 1 Screen door slammin’, July in the air Radio cracklin’, Van Halen on a tare Rust on a Chevy, parked on the grass Whole wide world and a half a tank of gas Heading up the canyon sneak a moonlit kiss Never had a thought of ever losing' this Just a match and a spark in the dark on a heart That was runnin’ on reckless n snark Pre-Chorus We were chasin’ forever, with nothin’ to lose Didn’t know what we know now... but now we do. Chorus We were burnin’ like a wildfire bright (HEY!) Hands up, ridin’ on a Friday night (HEY!) That feeling felt like it would never die Yeah, we were kings in a neon light Singin’ oh-oh, summer never said goodbye (OH-OH!) Oh-oh, A heartbeat in rest of our lives (OH-OH!) We were young, yeah we were alive And summer never said goodbye Verse 2 Bonfire shadows and a six-string cry Singin' ringing out in the midnight sky Me in your jacket, my head on your chest Said, “don’t let this moment ever end like the rest” First kiss tasted like cheap red wine Freedom buzzin’ in your eyes n mine We swore on stars we’d never grow old Yeah, we believed every word we told Pre-Chorus We were runnin’ on dreams n rock n roll tunes Didn’t know time had a way of leavin' so soon Chorus We were burnin’ like a wildfire bright (HEY!) Hands up, ridin’ on a Friday night (HEY!) Each second felt like it would never die Yeah, we were kings in a neon light Singin’ oh-oh, summer never said goodbye (OH-OH!) Oh-oh, A heartbeat from the rest of our lives (OH-OH!) We were young, yeah, we were alive And summer never said goodbye Bridge Now there’s gray in the mirror, lines in my face But I can still feel every second of that place Close my eyes and I’m back in that truck Wind in my hair like I never gave a (HEY!) Final Chorus We were burnin’ like a wildfire bright (HEY!) Hands up ridin’ on Friday night (HEY!) The moment felt like it would never die Yeah, we were kings in a neon sky Singin’ oh-oh, summer never said goodbye (OH-OH!) Oh-oh, still echoes in my mind tonight (OH-OH!) Yeah, I’m older but that fire survives ‘Cause summer never said goodbye (Summer never said good-bye) Never wanted it to end... (Summer never said good-bye) Never thought it would end (Summer never said good-bye) Damn… what a ride it was.
