Summer days, summer nights are gone
Summer days and summer nights are gone
I know a place where theres still somethin going on
Ive got a house on the hill, I got hogs out in the mud
Ive got a house on the hill, I got hogs all out in the mud
Ive got a long haired woman, she got royal indian blood
Everybody get ready, lift up your glasses and sing
Everybody get ready, lift up your glasses and sing
Well Im standin on the table, Im proposin a toast to the king
Im driving in the flats in a cadillac car
The girls all say "youre a worn out star"
My pockets are loaded, and Im spending every dime
How can you say you love someone else, you know its me all the time
Well the fogs so thick you cant spy the land
Well the fogs so thick that you cant even spy the land
What good are you anyway if you cant stand up to some old businessman?
Weddin bells are ringin and the choir is beginning to sing
Yes, the weddin bells are ringin and the choirs beginning to sing
What looks good in the day, at night is another thing
Shes looking in to my eyes, and shes a-holding my hand
She looks in to my eyes, shes holding my hand
She say, "you cant repeat the past,"
I say "you cant? what do you mean you cant? of course you can."
Where do you come from, where do you go?
Sorry, that is nothing you would need to know
Well, my backs been to the wall so long it seems like its stuck
Why dont you break my heart one more time, just for good luck
I got eight carburators and boys Im usin em all
Well, I got eight carburators and boys Im usin em all
Im short on gas, my motors startin to stall
My dogs are barking, there must be someone around
My dogs are barking, there must be someone around
I got my hammer ringin pretty baby, but the nails aint goin down
If you got something to say, speak or hold your peace
Well, if you got something to say, speak now or hold your peace
If its information you want, you can get it from the police
Politicians got on his joggin shoes
He must be runnin for office, got no time to lose
Suckin the blood out of the genius of generosity
You been rollin your eyes, you been teasin me
Standin by gods river my souls beginning to shake
Standin by gods river my souls beginning to shake
Im countin on you, love, to gimme a break
Well, Im leaving in the morning, as soon as the dark clouds lift
Yes, Im leaving in the morning, just as soon as the dark clouds lift
Im breakin the roof, set fire to the place as a partin gift
Summer days, summer nights are gone
Summer days, summer nights are gone
I know a place where theres still something goin on
