Summer Love
Ryan Upchurch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's an A-frame house on the corner where my road ends
In the summertime when I was young I was there everyday and weekend
Flirtin' with the girls that lived down the street
Leanin' in close, I can feel her heartbeat
Her heartbeat

Summer love
In the bed of a truck
With the cab lights glowing like a spotlight on both of us
In a field full of grass
Lightning bugs lighting up the night light
A chandelier in her eyes
Really don't like how the time flies by us
I'm missin' the taste of
Summer love
Summer love

There's an Indian head painted blue and red on our football field
In my hometown when I drive by, can't explain the way I feel
It takes me back to a simpler time
When we lived off dreams and the gas to drive around here
Around here

Summer love
In the bed of a truck
With the cab lights glowing like a spotlight on both of us
In a field full of grass
Lightning bugs lighting up the night light
A chandelier in her eyes
Really don't like how the time flies by us
I'm missin' the taste of

Summer love in the back of a -wheel drive
Starin' at the stars with her hands in mine

Summer love
In the bed of a truck
Cab lights glowing like a spotlight on both of us
In a field full of grass
Lightning bugs lighting up the night light
A chandelier in her eyes
Really don't like how the time flies

You can feel this fully because at the time of these records, he was truly happy, in love, and had the greatest woman by his side. Everything was great and alot simpler for him. Over the years since him and Bri split things have only gone down hill. Now we find out the realest reason why everything took a turn for the worse. Patty demolished everything he worked so hard to keep, pushing those who truly loved Upchurch away. Not cool, I was hoping Patty was better than this to do it to her own son and to even steal money from him. Though he could careless about the money, he cares about the principles of everything that's taken place recently

@gypsysoul1078

😍 When he says “I can feel her Heartbeat, Her Hearrrrt-Beat!!!” So damn good!! ❤
