long hot summer

it's gonna be a long hot summer

there's not a cloud in the sky

weatherman says fair and warmer

is that a tear in my eye. it's gonna be a long cold winter

just hope to god i don't freeze

it's gonna be a bad year for the roses

and a long hot summer's for me. well

you say that you're leavin'

and that you ain't comin' back

and the way things're looking

i don't doubt it not one a little bit. but what i am you made me

and that's all i'll ever be

and if you don't change your mind about leavin'

it's gonna be a long hot summer for me. it's gonna be a long cold winter

just hope to god i don't freeze

it's gonna be a bad year for the roses

and a long hot summer's for me.
