The sun set so late tonight

I wonder if you saw it too

I wish I still had someone to lose

But all I got are these summertime blues.

Bet there's a green-eyed-dark-haired beauty

On some beach by monterey

Letting waves wash her pain away

That I'll never know.

Bet there's some boys out in okie

That are praying to get the job done

Hauling hay and fighting off the sun

With ladies waitin' in town.

Summertime blues, summertime blues

I got nothing left to prove

I'm out of touch and out of tune

Singing alone

To the birds up high

And the souls below

All those boys who ain't got no home

The beautiful girls I'll never hold

This one's for you.

My summertime blues

My summertime blues.

The quiet turns to revelry

As the sun burns away the spring

The coastlines start to sing

With the young and heartless.

Hilton head and the hamptons

Where the rich all go to die

And the young kids all get high

Just to pass time.

I bought a bottle of the best bourbon

A beat down boy could buy

I'm gonna' bury all my sorrow

As the summertime passes by.

Summertime blues, summertime blues

I got nothing left to prove

I'm out of touch and out of tune

Singing alone

To the birds up high

And the souls below

All those boys who ain't got no home

The beautiful girls I'll never hold

This one's for you.

My summertime blues

My summertime blues.

The sun set so late tonight

I wonder if you saw it too

I wish I still had someone to lose

But all I got are these summertime blues.
