| July nineteen-eighty-one
|
| Alabama summer sun
|
| Sissy got her fishing pole
|
| Went down to the honey hole
|
| Greasy fiery frying pan
|
| Viola grabbed it with her hand
|
| It burned so bad her skin it peeled
|
| There I saw the truth revealed
|
| Watermelon tastes so good
|
| Bare feet on the cool hardwood
|
| Summer dresses Nanny made
|
| Cut off blue jeans torn and frayed
|
| Swinging on the barnyard gate
|
| It don’t get dark till after eight
|
| Run inside a kiss and hug
|
| Wrapped up in my mama’s love
|
| Firefly whispered in my ear
|
| She said let’s get outta here
|
| Fly down to the creek with me
|
| There’s something you gotta see
|
| The stars come out and glow so bright
|
| That’s why I don’t mess with morning light
|
| 'Cause they’re the ones that soothe my soul
|
| They make me wanna rock 'n roll
|
| Easy in the summertime
|
| Easy in the summertime
|
| Easy in the summertime |
