Summertime's Close

(álbum: Zach Bryan - 2023)

Well, I've had cold and humid mornings on city streets and back porches
But I ain't never breathed a breath as fresh as you
And I've seen children playing on the coastlines
Under the white lines, atop the blue tides
But I ain't ever been baptized in water as cool as you

And the law don't ever come back here and I
Reckon they don't try
I just put some beer on ice
Let's just dance for a moment or two

'Cause you're the fire of Carolina and Oklahoma too
The stars in St. Louis ain't burning bright as you
You're the waves crashing down on the Eastern Coast
When the day's cooling off and the summertime's closed
I lost faith in the world a long time ago

We'd always ride those back roads back when
You got sick
Roll the windows down
Just for the hell of it
You always acted baptized
Every time we hit the coast
Bandana tan line on your forehead
So the tourists didn't know

You're the fire of Carolina and Oklahoma too
And the stars in St. Louis ain't burning bright as you
You're the waves crashing down on the Eastern Coast
When the day's cooling off and the summertime's closed
I lost faith in the world a long time ago
My blood-rush to the heart, you were my last hope

And the law don't ever come back here and I
Reckon they don't try
I just put some beer on ice
And tonight I'm dancing for two
