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
