We drove the car through Circleland

And searched our jeans for laundry-faded bills

We gathered all our pocket change

It was just enough to get us somewhere else

 

         We turned the dial and heard a brand new sound

         The FM DJ is the man

         The first song of summer

 

We laughed ‘til we forgot to breathe

And rode right past the burn-outs and the bored

We always had the perfect plan

Life would be eternally July

 

         We turned the dial and heard a brand new sound

         The FM DJ is the man

         The first song of summer

 

Sometimes there’s no turning back

I think I’ve gone as far as I can go

I can go, I can go, I can go……

         The first song of summer
