At a red stop light in some sleepy town An old truck pulled up with the windows down That song from the past was playin' full blast And all at once I was seventeen And my car became a time machine And all those years just disappeared I could almost see my Janie beside me Her bare feet up on the dash And the boy I was Was stirred up inside me Tuggin' my heart And takin' me back Hey yeah yeah that summer song We cranked it up and sang out strong Every night we danced 'till dawn And listened to it over and over Hey yeah that summer song We learned about love as we went along Those glory days may be long gone This feelin' still lives on In that summer song That summer song On the night of the day I got my first car I grabbed my brand new keys And my old guitar I picked up my girl Man I owned the world And the minute that we parked out on White Lake Road
There it was again On my radio Just in time As her lips met mine Oh well I can't help wonderin' where Janie is now Is she still stealin' hearts like she used to do Maybe she's somewhere listenin' somehow Tuned in at this moment and feelin' it too Hey yeah yeah that summer song We cranked it up and sang out strong Every night we danced 'till dawn And listened to it over and over Hey yeah that summer song We learned about love as we went along Those glory days may be long gone This feelin' still lives on In that summer song Oh yeah yeah yeah Yeah Hey yeah yeah that summer song We cranked it up and sang out strong Those glory days may be long gone This feelin' still lives on In that summer song That summer song That summer song
