Lyrics
SWIMMIN’ HOLE
Well the mercury’s a-rising
On this summer day downtown
It’s already hot at 10am
We could use some cooling down
We could stay here, getting on each other’s nerves
But we’d be so much happier
Huggin’ those highway curves
Feels like you blink and summer is through
Throw me the keys, girl, here’s what we gotta do:
We’ll load up the hatchback, baby
Pick-up drinks and ice
We’ll drive as far as we can drive
We’ll stop somewhere nice
You and me, on a Saturday afternoon
You and me lookin’ for a swimming hole for two
I can see blue sky and sunlight
On an acre of clear water
I see you in cut-offs
Or a bikini if it’s hotter
Just imagine:
Blankets on the shore
Us doing cannonballs
Or having water wars
The only thing I can’t see in my mind
It’s you and me and this big-city skyline
Chorus
