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
