about

I had a friend go off on a rant about our short summers and clued into the idea as a song. It’s true! Summers are short so get out and enjoy ‘em.

lyrics

Six Weeks of Summer

there’s only six weeks of summer in a year
and only fifty two that we’re here
so raise a glass and with your hopes
get outside and hit the road
there’s so much to do, so much to do

here’s a song that’s been waiting all winter long
here’s a drink for all that you do and all that you think
as we party through the night by the pallet fire light
and we know it’ll soon disappear
oh, there’s six weeks of summer

speedin’ down the open road
straight as an arrow and as fast as you go
or lazin’ around in the sun
too hot to move but you know this must be fun

you’ve been here before
it’s so familiar but it seems like a lifetime ago
your heart slows down and your life speeds up
and you move just as fast as the prairie winds blow

here’s a song that’s been waiting all winter long
here’s a drink for all that you do and all that you think
as we party through the night by the pallet fire light
and we know it’ll soon disappear
oh, there’s six weeks of summer

some take the mountains and others love the sea
I look and the sky and think ‘that’s for me’

here’s a song that’s been waiting all winter long
here’s a drink for all that you do and all that you think
as we party through the night by the pallet fire light
and we know it’ll soon disappear
oh, there’s six weeks of summer

We set out to record a fun, upbeat song about our home (Legend of Boh) and ended up with eight tunes recorded!

Hope you like 'em.
