Long live the summertime
Just let the sun shine down
From the Alice plains to the Oceanside
Let's crank the music loud
See the southern stars rise in the sky
Playing guitars in the heat
Singing long live the summertime
Just keep me young and free
Got tunes on tap, beers on ice
The barbecue fired up just right
Blue sky lightin' up the red dirt by sea
Playing Back In Black in an outback pub
Gonna tie one on in the diesel and dust
You can feel that heat arisin' in this town
Well that's what I'm talking 'bout
Long live the summertime
Just let the sun shine down
From the Alice plains to the Oceanside
Let's crank the music loud
See the southern stars rise in the sky
Playing guitars in the heat
Singing long live the summertime
Just keep me young and free
I see a working man, he works the land
He's building dreams with working hands
Apples of his eye don't fall far from that tree
Now the spring is done, the earth is ripe
The hot sun says it's harvest time
Rolling fields of gold over sunburn ground
And that's what it's all about
Long live the summertime
Just let the sun shine down
From the Alice Plains to the Oceanside
Let's crank the music loud
See the southern stars rise in the sky
Playing guitars in the heat
Singing long live the summertime
Just keep me young and free
Been on the road, seen a thousand smiles
Horizon golden brown
The rainbow serpent paints the sky
And drives away the clouds
Until I'm almost done
Long live the summertime
Just let the sun shine down
From the Alice Plains to the Oceanside
Let's crank the music loud
See the southern stars rise in the sky
Playing guitars in the heat
Singing long live the summertime
Just keep me young and free
Long live the summer (long live the summertime)
Long live the summer (long live the summertime, yeah)
Long live the summer (long live the summertime, long live, long live)
Long live the summer (long live the summertime, yeah, yeah)
