Radio loud with a rebel beat
Neon lights and a sky on fire
Every dream burning higher and higher
Old guitars and a parking lot stage
We were young, wild hearts in a golden age
Dust in the air, stars in our eyes
We were chasing freedom through endless nights
No map, no rules, just you and me
Running fast toward destiny
Chorus
Oh, the Summer of ’26, we were burning bright
Living every second like the last night
Hands in the wind, hearts on the line
Young and fearless, feeling alive
Yeah the Summer of ’26, we were out of control
Rock and roll running deep in our soul
We didn’t care where the road would lead
All we needed was a dream and a beat
Bonfire sparks in the ocean breeze
Your shadow dancing next to me
Broken speakers, a rooftop band
Shouting songs that the world would understand
We were rebels with nowhere to go
But the night kept calling so we followed the glow
Every mile was a brand new song
And the summer kept rolling along
No fear, no chains, just open skies
Fire and thunder in our eyes
Chorus
Oh, the Summer of ’26, we were burning
Living every second like the last night
Hands in the wind, hearts on the line
Young and fearless, feeling alive
Yeah the Summer of ’26, we were out of control
Rock and roll running deep in our soul
We didn’t care where the road would lead
All we needed was a dream and a beat
Years may fade and the nights grow cold
But the story of that summer will never get old
When the radio plays that rebel sound
I’m right back there when the sun went down
Oh, the Summer of ’26, hear the crowd ignite
Every memory shining in the spotlight
Guitars screaming into the sky
We were legends for one wild time
Yeah the Summer of ’26, we were wild and free
Just a song and a memory
And every time that the speakers scream
I remember who we used to be
