Lyrics
Verse 1
Sun comes up on a glassy lake
Mist still hangin' low and gray
Race down the dock, dive in, make a wake
Holler echoes 'cross the bay
Herons liftin' off the cypress shore
A day like this is what we're livin' for
Pre-Chorus
Leave the week back on the road
Drop it all where the cattails grow
Chorus
Oh, it's a lake day
Not a cloud in the sky, just a wide-open blue
Divin' off with the whole dang crew
Soakin' up all the summer through
Close your eyes, let it all unwind
Drift on out, leave the world behind
Lake day, oh-oh
Nothin' like this in the summertime
Verse 2
Out on the rope swing, climbin' high
Tube flips over and we all go down
Let go and drop from the summer sky
Laughin' so hard we could wake the town
Skip a flat rock 'cross the shinin' green
Turtles on a log watchin' the whole scene
Pre-Chorus
Leave the week back on the road
Drop it all where the cattails grow
Chorus
Oh, it's a lake day
Not a cloud in the sky, just a wide-open blue
Divin' off with the whole dang crew
Soakin' up all the summer through
Close your eyes, let it all unwind
Drift on out, leave the world behind
Lake day, oh-oh
Nothin' like this in the summertime
Bridge
Cannonball! — off the dock
Cannonball! — off the side
Cannonball! — everybody
Cannonball! — here we ride
Final Chorus — key change, up a step
Oh, it's a lake day
Not a cloud in the sky, just a wide-open blue
Divin' off with the whole dang crew
Soakin' up all the summer through
Close your eyes, let it all unwind
Drift on out, leave the world behind
Lake day, oh-oh
Nothin' like this in the summertime
Outro
Lake day, oh-oh
Nothin' like this in the summertime
