I got sand between my toes and beach tar on my feet And my air conditioner don't work in this late August heat I got a top forty radio song stuck in my head Can't shake it loose can't get myself out of bed And I'm tired of the TV news think I'll read a book instead I been waitin' tables all summer at this place on the strip Bustin' all kinds of business for two bucks and tips I got a long list of reasons and a very short fuse A half pack of cigarettes and a room full of blues And I'm tired of these summer people with their summer tattoos
I know you don't wanna hear it but I'm telling you now 'Cause i think somebody's got to come clean About this whole thing somehow You say you were only tryin' to get yourself free Don't mean nothin' as far as i can see You ain't no better than them the way you walked out on me I think I'm callin' it quits i think I've had enough Of people leaving their messes for me to clean up I'm gonna take a vacation go somewhere in the snow I'm tired of the sun and the top forty radio And I'm tired of these summer people Wish they'd all just go home
