Girls In Their Summer Clothes

Well the street lights shine
Down on Blessing Avenue
Lovers they walk by
Holdin' hands two by two.

A breeze crosses the porch
Bicycle spokes spin 'round
Jacket's on, I'm out the door
Tonight I'm gonna burn this town down.

And the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clothes
Pass me by.

Kid's rubber ball smacks
Off the gutter 'neath the lamp light
Big bank clock chimes
Off go the sleepy front porch lights.

Downtown the store's alive
As the evening's underway
Things been a little tight
But I know they're gonna turn my way.

And the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clothes
Pass me by.

Frankie's Diner's
Over on the edge of town
Neon sign spinnin' round
Like a cross over the lost and found.

Fluorescent lights
Flicker above Bob's Grill
Shaniqua brings a coffee and asks "fill?"
And says "penny for your thoughts now my poor Bill".

She went away
She cut me like a knife
Had a beautiful thing
Maybe you just saved my life.

In just a glance
Down here on Magic Street
Love's a fool's dance
I ain't got much sense but I still got my feet.

And the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clothes
Pass me by.

And the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clothes
Pass me by.

La la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la la.
