Eight of us put in at eight-thirty sharp
Kevin brought a pool noodle and a waterproof tarp
Sarah forgot her sunscreen — third year straight
Jake was open on the first bend — nobody debates
Eight miles down and the sun's still high
Nobody's mentioned going home — nobody's tried
Last float down the river, nobody's getting out
Tube's gone flat but we'll figure that out
River don't know it's the last day of July
Last float down the river — we ain't saying goodbye
Mike goes in every year — it's a tradition
He says he doesn't — we say it's a given
Round bend six there goes Mike
Said he slipped — we said "same as last time, right"
Eight miles down and the sun's still high
Nobody's mentioned going home — nobody's tried
Last float down the river, nobody's getting out
Tube's gone flat but we'll figure that out
River don't know it's the last day of July
Last float down the river — we ain't saying goodbye
Cooler's empty, tubes are low
Mike's been wet since two hours ago
Kevin's tarp came in handy after all
Somebody's noodle saved somebody's fall
Takeout's at the Route Nine bridge — we can see it
Nobody's paddling toward it — nobody needs it
Current's warm and the sun's still showing
River ends where the river ends — no point in going
Last float down the river, nobody's getting out
Tube's gone flat but we'll figure that out
River don't know it's the last day of July
Last float down the river — we ain't saying goodbye
