Well the street lights shine
Down on Blessing Avenue
Lovers they walk by
Holdinī hands two by two
A breeze crosses the porch
Bicycle spokes spin īround
Jacketīs on, Iīm out the door
Tonight Iīm 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
Kidīs rubber ball smacks
Off the gutter īneath the lamp light
Big bank clock chimes
Off go the sleepy front porch lights
Downtown the storeīs alive
As the eveningīs underway
Things been a little tight
But I know theyīre 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
Frankieīs Dinerīs
Over on the edge of town
Neon sign spinninī round
Like a cross over the lost and found
Fluorescent lights
Flicker above Bobīs 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
Loveīs a foolīs dance
I ainīt 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
