Dog days of summer a long long time ago
I met a brown haired beauty down by the swmin' hole
With a blanket and a bottle and Skynard on the radio
We took it slow
She lead me out in the water
Said she had a surprise
That's when the farmers daughter
Really opened my eyes
I saw the light
The earth stood still and time didn't mean a thing
When we touched i swear i heard the angels sing
A twenty one gun salute and the church bells rang
What a powerful thing
She lead me out in the water
Said she had a surprise
That's when the farmers daughter
Really opened my eyes
I saw the light
It was so brightly shining
If I live to be a hundred i swear I'll always remember
The night at the swimin' hole at the first of September
I fanned a lot of flames but she will always be the ember
I remember
She lead me out in the water
Said she had a surprise
That's when the farmers daughter
Really opened my eyes
I saw the light
It was so brightly shining
She lead me out in the water
Said she had a surprise
That's when the farmers daughter
Really opened my eyes
I saw the light
It was so brightly shining
