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

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
