Summertime Blues

(album: Summertime Blues - 2022)

The sun set so late tonight
I wonder if you saw it too
I wish I still had someone to lose
But all I got are these summertime blues

Bet there's a green-eyed-dark-haired beauty
On some beach by Monterey
Letting waves wash her pain away
That I'll never know

Bet there's some boys out in Okie
That are praying to get the job done
Hauling hay and fighting off the sun
With ladies waiting in town

Summertime blues, summertime blues
I got nothing left to prove
I'm out of touch and out of tune
Singing 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
And 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 got nothing left to prove
I'm out of touch and out of tune
Singing 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
I wish I still had someone to lose
But all I got are these summertime blues
