Mason jars and fireflies

White diamond stars up in that sky

We was just some barefoot mountain kids

Cannon-balling off the bridge

Running like a runaway train

I remember holler honeysuckle smell

Drinking from the neighbor's well

Burning through some hot as hell days

Turn it back in the backwoods

Come right around sundown

Yeah, the getting got real good

'cause that's when they come out

Them mason jars and fireflies

White diamond stars up in that sky

That whippoorwill howl in the night

Yeah, there's a call, sweet summertime

Yeah, we're getting older but the fire's still burning

And we're still sitting round it and the girl's still turning me on

Virginia clear to drink on, and southern sparks, neon

Blinking lights in the dark like lightning

Them mason jars and fireflies

White diamond stars up in that sky

That whippoorwill howl in the night

Yeah, there's a call, sweet summertime

So come on boys, get your guitars out

Bet them girls gon' get on down

Take a sip of that mountain shine

Nothing like sweet summertime

Making noise on the mountaintop

We gon' make that mountain rock

Way out here it's a way of life

Nothing like sweet summertime

Mason jars and fireflies

White diamond stars up in that sky

Whippoorwill howl in the night

Yeah, there's a call, sweet summertime

Mason jars and fireflies

(So come on boys, get your guitars out

Bet them girls gon' get on down)

White diamond stars up in that sky

(Take a sip of that mountain shine

Nothing like sweet summertime)

Where whippoorwill howl in the night

(Making noise on the mountaintop

We gon' make that mountain rock)

Yeah, there's a call, sweet summertime

(Way out here it's a way of life

Nothing like sweet summertime)
