  • Everybody's got a summer that they can't forget
    They hold on to and go back to
    Yeah, mine's on the Carolina coast
    Still burnin' in my mind like a red sunset
    Chasin' embers 'til September
    What I remember most

    Bottle rockets in the sky
    Bare feet in the sand
    Bonfire in her eyes
    Cold beer in a can
    Moonlight on the waves
    Her kiss in the dark
    The smile on her face when she'd make me break out my guitar and play
    Hold my hand
    Hold my hand

    I can still feel her fingers wrapped up in mine
    Can still hear her laughin', see her dancing
    Yeah, makin' more than that sundress spin
    Now who says you can't go back in time?
    Yeah, when that song, it comes on
    I'm on rewind and I'm seventeen again

    Bottle rockets in the sky
    Bare feet in the sand
    Bonfire in her eyes
    Cold beer in a can
    Moonlight on the waves
    Her kiss in the dark
    The smile on her face when she'd make me break out my guitar and play
    Hold my hand
    I want you to hold my hand
    Hold my hand
    Oh

    I got a hand for you
    Yeah, I've got a hand for you
    I wanna run with you
    Won't you let me run with you? (Oh)

    Bottle rockets in the sky
    Bare feet in the sand
    Bonfire in her eyes
    Cold beer in a can
    Moonlight on the waves
    Her kiss in the dark
    The smile on her face when she'd make me break out my guitar and play
    Hold my hand
    I want you to hold my hand
    Hold my hand
    I'll take you to the promised land
    Hold my hand
    Maybe we can't change the world, but
    I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can

    (Hold my hand) bottle rockets in the sky
    The best that I can (hold my hand)
    Bare feet in the sand
    Oh, the best that I can (hold my hand)
    Bonfire in her eyes
    Oh
    (Hold my hand) I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can Writer/s: BENJAMIN BRENT ANDERSON, DARIUS C. RUCKER, DEREK GEORGE, EVERETT FELBER, FRANK MANDEVILLE V.
