City Summer Blues

歌詞

It must be summer in the river city, 'cause the gunshots ring out twice a day Like cats in heat we've all gone crazy and sirens sing the long hot night away There's no relief in a river city except swimming pools, cold beer and wine But that's no way to treat a lady, you gotta get her out of town come summertime It's gonna be a long hot summer, I think it's time we went somewhere Baby, just me and you Let's leave the city behind, together we can pass the time Far away from the city summer blues Frying eggs on the sidewalk, street signs saying don't walk Anywhere, you better keep inside Box fans just buzzing in the window, ice box wide open why don't we go Out where the weather is on our side They can tear the streets up in this city, yes, long as we don't let them tear us down We'll keep our cool out in the country, where the city summer blues can't be found It's gonna be a long hot summer, I think it's time we went somewhere Baby, just me and you Let's leave the city behind, together we can pass the time Far away from the city summer blues Not that I hate this river city, but that burning sun ain't no friend of mine I'd like to show my baby something better, somewhere across that river city limit sign It's gonna be a long hot summer, I think it's time we went somewhere Baby, just me and you Let's leave the city behind, together we can pass the time Far away from the city summer blues
