[Verse 1]
Sweet sixteen in the car I bought
We're in my Civic in the parking lot
Making out 'til we couldn't stop
Oh, Lord, it was hot as hell
Had my cargos and my flip-flops
Writing ditties in the patty loft
Overheating on my laptop
Oh, Lord, it was hot as hell

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the Carolina nights
Drinking bags of wine
We’re riding in the back of a pick-up truck
Oh, with all my windows down
I think of my hometown
And all those

[Chorus]
Warm summer nights
Can't you feel the warm breeze blowing?
Can't you see the fireflies glowing?
And the big moon in the sky
I swear there is no better time
Than those warm summer nights
[Verse 2]
Sweet sixteen in my CRV
I had my friends but no AC
Jean shorts and cut-off tees
Oh, Lord, it was hot as hell
Cheap beer and jello shots
Playing pong on the tabletop
Stay quiet 'til we didn't get caught
Oh, Lord, it was hot as hell

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the California nights
Never a cloud in sight
Making bonfires 'til they're burning bright
Oh, I can see it now
See what this song's about
All those

[Chorus]
Warm summer nights
Can't you feel the warm breeze blowing?
Can't you see the fireflies glowing?
And the big moon in the sky
I swear there is no better time
Than those warm summer nights
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Warm summer nights
Can't you feel the warm breeze blowing?
Can't you see the fireflies glowing?
And the big moon in the sky
I swear there is no better time
Than those warm summer nights, oh
Summer nights, oh
