The sun set so late tonight |
I wonder if you saw it too |
Wish I still had someone to lose |
All I got are these summertime blues |
Bet there's a green-eyed, dark-haired beauty on some beach by Monterey |
Lettin' waves wash her pain away, but I'll never know |
Bet there's some boys out in Okie that are prayin' to get the job done |
Haulin' hay and fightin' off the sun with ladies waitin' in town |
My summertime blues, summertime blues |
I've got nothin' left to prove |
I'm out of touch and out of tune |
Singin' alone |
To the birds up high and the souls below |
All those boys who ain't got no home |
The beautiful girls I'll never hold |
This one's for you |
My summertime blues |
My summertime blues |
The quiet turns to revelry as the sun burns away the spring |
The coastlines start to sing with the young and heartless |
Hilton head and the Hamptons where the rich all go to die |
The young kids all get high just to pass time |
I bought a bottle of the best bourbon |
A beat-down boy could buy |
I'm gonna bury all my sorrow |
As the summertime passes by |
Summertime blues, summertime blues |
I've got nothin' left to prove |
I'm out of touch and out of tune |
Singin' alone |
To the birds up high and the souls below |
All those boys who ain't got no home |
The beautiful girls I'll never hold |
This one's for you |
My summertime blues |
My summertime blues |
The sun set so late tonight |
I wonder if you saw it too |
Wish I still had someone to lose |
All I got are these summertime blues |
