Lyrics Summer Song - Quiet Hollers

Summer Song

The old man took the keys away again
He always says that he can tell just where I’ve been
And I was down at the freight yard
Throwin beer bottles at trains
Until it rains, 'til it rains
You know he didn’t have to talk to me like that
I would’ve brought her back without a scratch
And I only go to the drive-in anyway
Not for the movies
But for the rare dashboard lights that cross her hair
My summers used to last for years
They died like flowers and disappeared
And that’s how days turned into years
The old man, he used to drive me all around
That’s how I know every sidewalk crack in this town
And it was there at the Exxon
That I first asked for her name
And she laughed, her eyes like flames
My summers used to last for years
They died like flowers and disappeared
And that’s how days turned into years and years
O, how time can pass you by
