girls in their summer clothes

well the street lights shine

down on blessing avenue

lovers they walk by

holding hands two by two

a breeze crosses the porch

bicycle spokes spin around

jacket's on

i'm out the door

tonight i'm going to burn this town down

girls in their summer clothes

in the cool of the evening light

girls in their summer clothes

pass me by

kid's rubber ball smacks

off the gutter underneath 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 going to turn my way

girls in their summer clothes

in the cool of the evening light

girls in their summer clothes

pass me by

girls in their summer clothes

in the cool of the evening light

girls in their summer clothes

pass me by

girls in their clothes

they pass me by

i still wanna know

what keeps you from staying a little while

sometimes they're shy

sometimes they smile

i still wanna try to make you feel home when you're by my side
