Verse 2:
Been here so long, think that it’s time to move
The winter’s so cold, summer’s over too soon

I’ve got some friends, some that I hardly know
But we’ve had some times, I wouldn’t trade for the world
We chased these days down with talks of the places that we will go
Chorus

Swing life away
Swing life away
Swing life away
Swing life away
