[Verse 1]
Down by the bend where the pine trees lean
Lake Harding gleams like a backroad dream
Pontoon wakes cut the Sunday air
Tubes in the water, sunburned hair
[Pre-Chorus]
Every dock got a cooler and a grin
Same old joke, let the good times spin
You can hear that laughter from miles away
And it only gets louder on a holiday
[Chorus]
Lake Harding, Lake Harding
Best place to be
Lake Harding, Lake Harding
Crowded in the heat
Fire on the dam
All night long
Lake Harding, Lake Harding
That’s where we belong
[Verse 2]
Fourth of July, the whole crowd comes
Kids on the shoreline, old trucks rumblin’
Ski boats circlin’ in the open blue
Grills goin’ hard with the sweet smoke through
[Pre-Chorus]
When the evening falls, don’t ask why
That dam lights up like a painted sky
You see those sparks make the whole town cheer
And you know right then it’s the best place here
[Chorus]
Lake Harding, Lake Harding
Best place to be
Lake Harding, Lake Harding
Crowded in the heat
Fire on the dam
All night long
Lake Harding, Lake Harding
That’s where we belong
[Bridge]
Got a line in the water and a song in the wind
Every stranger here feels like a longtime friend
Hold your glass up, let the good days ring
This whole lake knows how to make you sing
[Chorus]
Lake Harding, Lake Harding
Best place to be
Lake Harding, Lake Harding
Crowded in the heat
Fire on the dam
All night long
Lake Harding, Lake Harding
That’s where we belong
[Outro]
Lake Harding
Come on back
Best place to be
Lake Harding
