Back in the country, living on the Double E

In the sunshine of her life

There's a ready young filly, but mom and daddy won't let her leave

Mom and Papa won't let her go

But when they go out dancin'

She breaks out on her own

She's hot enough to burn the house down

And Mom and Daddy don't know

When Edith and Earl renamed the Double E

They nearly made history

The locals rose up and some of them were mad as hell

Because it used to be the Double L

Change comes slow in the country

When you're new there's a lot of distrust

Years fly by uneventful

And memories turn to dust

Meanwhile Granny has got her bright colors on

With the sun shinin' in her eyes

Cruising by the bars and honky tonks where she met Grandpa

And caught that young man's eye

Dusty white Eldorado

Cruisin' through the trees

Slippin' through the shadows

Of what used to be

Back in the day, livin' in the summer of love

Livin' in the summer of love

Grandma's ok but not the same since Grandpa's gone

She's livin' in the summer of love

Back in the day, livin' in the summer of love

Livin' in the summer of love

Back in the day, livin' in the summer of love

Livin' in the summer of love

Back in the day, livin' in the summer of love

Livin' in the summer of love
