Garth Brooks - That Summer Lyrics
I went to work for her that summer
A teenage kid so far from home
She was a lonely widow woman
Hell-bent to make it on her own
We were a thousand miles from nowhere
Both needing something from each other
Not knowing yet what that might be
'Til she came to me one evening
Hot cup of coffee and a smile
In a dress that I was certain
She hadn't worn in quite a while
There was a difference in her laughter
There was a softness in her eyes
And on the air there was a hunger
She had a need to feel the thunder
To chase the lightning from the sky
To watch a storm with all its wonder
Raging in her lover's eyes
She had to ride the heat of passion
Like a comet burning bright
Rushing headlong in the wind
Out where only dreams have been
Burning both ends of the night
That summer wind was all around me
Nothing between us but the night
When I told her that I'd never
She softly whispered that's alright
And then I watched her hands of leather
Turn to velvet in a touch
There's never been another summer
When I have ever learned so much
We had a need to feel the thunder
To chase the lightning from the sky
To watch a storm with all its wonder
Raging in each others eyes
We had to ride the heat of passion
Like a comet burning bright
Rushing headlong in the wind
Out where only dreams have been
Burning both ends of the night
I often think about that summer
The sweat, the moonlight and the lace
And I have rarely held another
When I haven't seen her face
And every time I pass a wheat field
And watch it dancing with the wind
Although I know it isn't real
I just can't help but feel
Her hungry arms again
She had a need to feel the thunder
To chase the lightning from the sky
To watch a storm with all its wonder
Raging in her lover's eyes
She had to ride the heat of passion
Like a comet burning bright
Rushing headlong in the wind
Out where only dreams have been
Burning both ends of the night
Rushing in long in the wind
Out where only dreams have been
Burnin' both ends of the night

Not Garth?
Awesome lyrics
🥀This is a Powerful Song🥀This meaning is so true! Garth Brooks is as real as they can get🥀👍
haunting song. great song
Whos still here in 2020?
Jake Steurrys me
So pathetic that someone posts this as Garth Brooks when it clearly isn't
If you exclude the part of him being a teen it sounds like a love song for the history books. Too bad its a song about pedos.
eighTEEN, nineTEEn
He fucked the homeowner nice!!
Keep your jeans high and tight.
I had a summer like this
You couldn’t carry garths ball bag
I have to play this song loud so I can try to stop the tears. Lol
This song reminds me of my ex-girlfriend. She was 8 years older than me. Didn't happen exactly like the song, but close enough!
Great Song
Thanks for this song. I can relate.
Love you fam-bam
💚✌🏽💚
Just here after Rhett and Link
Is he talking about her thunder they thighs while nailing a her. Iike the song but I’m pretty sure he banged the farmers wife shit in drunk

Good song
I hope he was at least 18...
Is this a song about really good sex I don't know I haven't been here in a minute
No, it's about true love
Once again, we have the famous singer "not Garth."
I say he was 20 and she was 36
How old do y'all think she was approximately??

This isn't garth.
Not Garth! Not even close
"There was a difference in her laughter, a softness in her eyes"
why are there so many cover versions labled as garth's stuff but yet its impossible to find his original songs
Because he has a very tight grip on his copyrighted music. If you do find his stuff on here, either he released it or you better grab it before it’s taken down.
@Adam McKim yeah but by that same reasoning you'd expect the cover bands would have similar umbridge with people uploading their recordings
#NotGarth!
To watch a storm with all its wonder💯🤘🤘
I LOVE Your song so much
Love that song
This would be funny on American Idol: He sings three words ... WAIT ... STOP ... PLEASE!
This is the anthem that says it's ok for younger men to be with women of a mature age. And God bless it. Young women these days treat men like shit.
True Statement!
Lol never have I agreed more with a comment. Which is why I’m with a woman 11 years older then me now and couldn’t be happier.
Christ will someone put this TOOL OUT OF HIS DOUCHE BAG MISERY
Not Garth....
Cougar alert!
not garth brooks...why is youtube filled with fake garth brooks
That's exactly why Garth Brooks is the highest selling solo artist of all time.. because he don't play around with bootleggers and thieves. If you want to hear it, show Garth the money!
I know these dudes are trying but no one can do it like Garth
Is this a garth Brooks song
Great cover but not Garth
Good song but Garth sings it better
Yeah I didn't think this was Garth
Not garth not even close
One of the greatest summertime songs of all-time!
So If your late to work it’s because of your boss and late night shenanigans sign me up
This song reminds me of my mom, she was a wild beautiful soul
Love this great song. So well done by Garth.
This isnt garth lol
Fooled me, still like the song.
Not Garth
Okay, may not be Garth but good id good, fooled me.
Not Garth lol.
RIP Victor Deluca I LL see u soon uncle. Love you forever. RIP Terri Brown see u soon Love from cone head
Tammy stopped wearing makeup "war paint 'Roger A Hays would say .Tammy J Hays started dancing . 2014 Tammy drank A beer at VFW my sister's stomping ground.
Scott page definitely Garth
Garth, not Garth, who cares! This song is so Hot I have to take a cold shower after listening to it! Great song! Had a similar experience in my day...WHEW!!! Hot, Hot, Hot!!!
sounds good but not Garth
Really?? Then who the hell IS IT??
And that is how you do lyrics. Who gives af about muddy tires and bud light?
Ur problem here for 1:19
This song is 100% about statutory rape
This isn’t Garth
bruh it always on the screen
How old was he??????? How old was she??? The song is pretty but... it’s concerning
@Emilie Elm Nothing dark. My friend lost his virginity to a stripper when he was 11. Hit puberty pretty fast.
Gangsta Nerd she was a pedophile then and he was a victim. She raped him. Minors can NOT consent
@Emilie Elm Oh but my buddy did consent. He loved older poonany. And my lil homie always said it helped him get confidence with women when he was real young, and that's one reason why he's so good with chicks now.
Gangsta Nerd I hope you die because that’s terrible to say. Your friend was a victim. It didn’t help him I’ll be reporting you to cyber tips
And then I watched her hands of leather turn to velvet in a touch.................;-)
That sounds like $h!t. I dont remember Garth sounding like that.
Missed lyrics in final chorus outro, it's "Rushing headlong in the wind...." Also, according to Wikipedia, "The song was written by Garth Brooks, Pat Alger and Brooks' then-wife Sandy Mahl." This is confirmed by songfacts.com, rollingstone.com and many other sites.
To all the deniers, this IS Garth Brooks. It isn't the way he originally recorded it in 1992 (released in 1993), but this is his BETTER version recorded for a music video later in 1993. Geez, do your homework....
Too young to be Garth
This song is so damn disturbing... this terrible bitch took his virginity on a whim of passion, and then he could never hold another woman without thinking of her face.... little known fact: he never got over this, and had to resort to expressing his sexuality through truck-stop-blowjobs from overweight long haul drivers. Also, he cant eat whole wheat bread without tearing up
You gotta be stupid if you think this is Garth, don’t get me wrong, this guy sings this song pretty good, but THIS IS GARTH —> https://youtu.be/uOjNanRoYeY
A dam. widow hope she’s aged well,
I always thought the lyric was he "went to work WITH her that summer."
Let me tell something funny
The like a comet burning bright part
Well when I was a kid
I always heard as like a carpet burning rug
@The Mark Hamill Joker Impressionist lol i hear it
Oh he worked with her alright
That's funny!!!!
216 people never felt the thunder
One of the first Garth Brooks songs I ever listened to
Great song, and I've listened to it since I was a little kid. BUT...if this was an old man, and young girl there would be holy hell to pay.
Because it IS different; and if you are a man you would know that. There is no equivalency.
Nowadays it goes both ways cause America is uptight AF
Listen to Strawberry Wine... it's the same but reversed
@DioceseTemplar not quite the same, their relationship lastet a bit longer than the few summer weeks, and I doubt that he was much older than 22/23. Here I would assume that she's got 10 years and some change on him I'd say - I'm putting her into her late 20s at least. (or that's the feeling I kinda get from the songs.)

This is obviously not Garth Brooks, but very well done.
This shit is trash.
Must have been special to write a song about losing his virginity to a 80 yr old woman
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That summer,I had one hope u live,love,laugh and cry,lov each other God bless the children,Millard Hardy
One of my favorite songs of all time. I grew up in Kansas in the middle of wheat country.
it is garth brooks. been hearing it since 92. from his album the chase. its on tape "the chase"(sorry bought mine in 93 so it might not be Wal-Mart reject) and multiple cds,including multiple greatest hits albums. hell its on amazon,google, and Alexa knows it!😝😀
Sounds more like Brad Paisley s voice than Garth's
Sounds nothing like Brad Paisley. You can clearly hear, its Garths voice. Listen.
Been there.... done that.... LOL!!!
Karen your the best female ever, made some young boy a man
You got it the lyrics all wrong... It goes:
My circuits have blown
I know it's self-imposed
And all I have shared, and all I have loved
Is all I'll ever own
But something has changed
I feel so alive
My life just blew up, I'd give it all up
I'll depressurize
Oh, oh, oh, ten thousand miles left on the road
Oh, oh, oh, five hundred hours 'til I am home
I need something human, human
Human, human
What the hell are you talking about??
Hey Dallas who is your favorite wrestler
From Dallas Texas ember moon
He cant put his own voice on youtube due to copywright issues, the only way to get garth brooks voice is to pay to a company he made a deal with, or just buy the record
Impostors suck
LOVE,LOVE,LOVE THIS SONG & GARTH BROOKS FOREVER!

If that is Garth Brooks ill eat my hat!! ITS NOT
It isn't but of all the covers out there this one comes the closest
@Andrew Garratt look up dany Crumley he has all Garth songs
It is Garth Brooks. My dad can attest to that. Just this summer, I pulled up this very video to listen to the song, and my dad, who's been a country music fan for longer than I've been alive and is not only intimately familiar with Troyal but has a certain ear for music where he can instantly pick out the artist and title of a large catalog of songs going back decades, told me specifically that this is , in fact, actually Garth singing this song that he never particularly cared for but was familiar with nonetheless.
I agree its not Garth
Eat ur hat son
This is Dylan Miller. His version is on iTunes
Dallas do you like Garth brooks
She was 35 and I was 18...
