Summer days, summer nights are gone
Summer days and summer nights are gone
I know a place where there´s still somethin´ going on
I´ve got a house on the hill, I got hogs out in the mud
I´ve got a house on the hill, I got hogs all out in the mud
I´ve 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 I´m standin´ on the table, I´m proposin´ a toast to the king
I´m driving in the flats in a Cadillac car
The girls all say "You´re a worn out star"
My pockets are loaded, and I´m spending every dime
How can you say you love someone else,
you know it´s me all the time
Well the fog´s so thick you can´t spy the land
Well the fog´s so thick that you can´t even spy the land
what good are you anyway if you can´t 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 choir´s beginning to sing
What looks good in the day, at night is another thing
She´s looking in to my eyes, and she´s a-holding my hand
She looks in to my eyes, she´s holding my hand
she say, "you can´t repeat the past,"
I say "You can´t? What do you mean you can´t?
Of course you can."
Where do you come from, where do you go?
Sorry, that is nothing you would need to know
Well, my back´s been to the wall so long it seems like it´s stuck
Why don´t you break my heart one more time, just for good luck
I got eight carburators and boys I´m usin´ ´em all
well, I got eight carburators and boys I´m usin´ ´em all
I´m short on gas, my motor´s 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 ain´t 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 it´s information you want, you can get it from the police
Politician´s 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 God´s river my soul´s beginning to shake
Standin´ by God´s river my soul´s beginning to shake
I´m countin´ on you, love, to gimme a break
I´m leaving in the morning, as soon as the dark clouds lift
I´m leaving in the morning, as soon as the dark clouds lift
I´m 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 there´s still something goin´ on.
