Not Giving up on the Summer
 
The September sky is a little bit hazy
At the bus stop out on Route 61
These ladies look at me like I'm crazy
Got my shorts and I got my sandals on
Oh...
But there's a little light rain and a little light wind
It's a little chilly and gray for showing this much skin

But I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up on the summer
I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up on you
I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up on the summer
I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up on you

Every June, July, and August weekend
See you comin' in on the 404
Watch that bus with my heart leapin'
And see you steppin' out through those doors
Oh...
And the sky shone blue and the sun blazed gold
But the weather and you, well you both turned cold

But I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up on the summer
I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up on you
I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up on the summer
I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up on you

(It's a state of mind) It's still warm if I believe it
(It's a state of mind) You're in my arms if I believe it
(It's a state of mind) And though you left here nearly runnin'
(It's a state of mind) I know you're on that bus that's comin'
I know that you still love me

And I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up on the summer
I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up on you
I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up on the summer
I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up on you
