Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I remember the summer rain
Dancing in the streets without a care
We were laughing through the pouring pain
Water dripping from your golden hair
[Chorus]
Those summer rain days
When we were young and free
Those summer rain days
Just you and me
Nothing could bring us down
We owned this whole town
Those summer rain days
[Verse 2]
Thunder rolling like a distant drum
Lightning flashing in your eyes
We didn't know what we'd become
But we were chasing fireflies
[Chorus]
Those summer rain days
When we were young and free
Those summer rain days
Just you and me
Nothing could bring us down
We owned this whole town
Those summer rain days

[Verse 1 - Southern]
Well, I started down in Georgia with nothin' but a dream
Mah guitar and mah pickup truck, life was simple it seemed
Singin' songs about the homeland, 'bout the red clay dirt
Never knew that leavin' home would be what really hurt

Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan lights, livin' the big dream
Pizza slices, subway rides, everything's so fast
Tryna make it in New York, hoping that I last
[Verse 3 - Cockney]
Ended up in London town, innit, what a change
Piccadilly, Camden markets, everythin' feels strange
Fish an' chips, a pint at the pub, mate, it's all so different
But the music keeps me goin', keepin' me resilient

I'm a wanderer, a traveler, crossing every sea
Finding home in every place, but home is inside me

Music is my compass, music is my guide
