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,
Letting waves wash her pain away,
But 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,

My summertime blues, summertime blues,
I’ve 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 aint got no home,
The beautiful girls I’ll never hold,
This ones for you,

My summertime blues,
My summertime blues,

The quiet turns to revelry,
As the sun burns away the Spring,
The coast line starts 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,

My summertime blues, summertime blues,
I’ve 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 aint got no home,
The beautiful girls I’ll never hold,
This ones 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
