It's the Duquoin, Illinois county fair
I could still see you standing there like a dream
Flatbed stage on a little dirt track
We were young and free
everytime this part happens
Oh, she could've been mine
But we ran out of summertiiiiiime
Spent a few weeks out on a lake shore beach
Carved our names high as we could reach on an old wooden pier
We made plans we planned to keep
300 miles from her to me and her senior year
Oh, she could've been mine
But we ran out of summertime
And of all the things I let get away
She's the one that keeps me awake at night
And I've never seen days go by so fast
She was hot as July and sweet as sunshine
Oh, she could've been mine
But we ran out of summertiiiiiime
If the days had only stayed that long
And those autumn leaves didn't have to fall
Oh, we'd have fell in love
'Cause what we felt on that Ferris wheel
Was just too right and just too real
But just not long enough
Oh, she could've been mine
But we ran out of summertime
And of all the things I let get away
She's the one that keeps me awake at night
And I've never seen days go by so fast
She was hot as July, sweet as sunshine
Oh, she could've been mine
But we ran out of summertiiiiime
And of all the things I let get away
She's the one that keeps me awake at night
And I've never seen days go by so fast
sweet as sunshine
And of all the things I let get away
She's the one that keeps me awake at night
And I've never seen days go by so fast
She was hot as July, sweet as sunshine
Oh, she could've been mine
But we ran out of summertime
