Summertime's Close

歌詞

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 playin' 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 burnin' bright as you You're the waves crashin' down on the Eastern Coast When the day's coolin' 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 burnin' bright as you You're the waves crashin' down on the Eastern Coast When the day's coolin' 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 dancin' for two
