David Kemper - Summer Days lyrics

[Verse 1] Summer days, summer nights are gone Summer days and the summer nights are gone I know a place where there's still something going on I got a house on a hill, I got hogs out in the mud I got a house on a hill, I got hogs all out in the mud Got a long-haired woman, she got royal Indian blood Everybody get ready to lift up your gla**es and sing Everybody get ready to lift up your gla**es and sing Well, I'm standing on the table, I'm proposing a toast to the king [Chorus] Well I'm driving in the flats in a Cadillac car The girls all say, “You're a worn-out star” My pockets are loaded and I'm spending every dime How can you say you love someone else when you know it's me all the time? [Verse 2] Well, the fog's so thick you can't spy the land The fog is so thick that you can't even spy the land What good are you anyway, if you can't stand up to some old businessman? Wedding bells are ringing, the choir is beginning to sing Yes, the wedding bells are ringing and the choir's beginning to sing What looked good in the day, at night is another thing She's looking into my eyes, she's-a holding my hand She looking into my eyes, she's holding my hand She said, “You can't repeat the past,” I said, “You can't? What do you mean You can't? Of course you can.” [Chorus] Where do you come from? Where do you go? Sorry that's nothing you would need to know Well, my back has been to the wall for so long, it seems like it's stuck Why don't you break my heart one more time just for good luck? [Verse 3] I got eight carburetors, boys I'm using 'em all Well, I got eight carburetors and boys, I'm using 'em all I'm short on gas, my motor's starting to stall My dogs are barking, there must be someone around My dogs are barking, there's must be someone around I got my hammer ringing, pretty baby, but the nails ain't going down You got something to say, speak or hold your peace Well, you got something to say, speak now or hold your peace If it's information you want you can go get it from the police [Chorus] Politician's got on his jogging shoes He must be running for office, got no time to lose He's s**ing the blood out of the genius of generosity You been rolling your eyes—you been teasing me [Verse 4] Standing by God's river, my soul is beginning to shake Standing by God's river, my soul is beginning to shake I'm counting on you love, to give me a break Well, I'm leaving in the morning as soon as the dark clouds lift Yes, I'm leaving in the morning just as soon as the dark clouds lift Gonn' break the roof in—set fire to the place as a parting gift Summer days, summer nights are gone Summer days, summer nights are gone I know a place where there's still something going on
