Lyrics
Bell rings out and the doors fly wide Backpacks hit the ground like thunder We pile in the van with the windows down Three months of summer, we're going under Harmonica howling out of the back Somebody's feet on the dashboard singing Nobody checks the clock or the map Just the highway and the wind that's bringing Windows down, nowhere to be The whole wide world is a place to be free Sing it loud, sing it wrong, sing it long Last day of school and the road's our song Windows down, hands in the sky Summer's a kite and we're learning to fly Sing it loud till the stars come on Last day of school and we're gone, we're gone Stop for a slushie at a dusty stand Sunburnt noses and a borrowed radio Somebody's crying from too much joy And the sun slides down in a golden glow Windows down, nowhere to be The whole wide world is a place to be free Sing it loud, sing it wrong, sing it long Last day of school and the road's our song Windows down, hands in the sky Summer's a kite and we're learning to fly Sing it loud till the stars come on Last day of school and we're gone, we're gone Hey, hey, count it down Every mile is a brand new town Hey, hey, never stop Summer's here and we're on top Windows down, nowhere to be The whole wide world is a place to be free Sing it loud, sing it wrong, sing it long Last day of school and the road's our song Windows down, hands in the sky Summer's a kite and we're learning to fly Sing it loud till the stars come on Last day of school and we're gone, we're gone Windows down, nowhere to be Last day of school and we're free
