Song Of A Long Hot Summer

Now that summer is over...long live summer.

The morning air rises off the street

You know it’s gona get much hotter

For a long while                             

Everybody’s  wearing summer smiles   woh woh woh

Song on the beach takes me back

Harmonies drifting through the heat

I scream in the hot sand 

burning my feet hey pass me a cold drink 

They’re singing bout me and you

They’ll be playing it a whole lot longer

In this kind of weather

A song of a long hot summer

Shuffle down the crowded streets of this beach town

A long stare  at the ocean’s horizon

Stop at the hot dog stand

Some fries to go   and hold the sand

One more thing to make the day’s complete

Now that the sun won’t last much longer

There’s a bar         called the beachcomber                           

up on the cliff

Let’s  wash the salt water off of our lips

They’re singing bout the sun’s return

We’ll be humming it a whole lot longer

in this kind of weather

A song of a long hot summer

They’re singing bout brown eyed girls

They’re singing bout love in the sun

They’re singing bout too much fun

In this kind of weather

A song of a long long hot summer

You certainly caught the feel of Summer. All surfboards and sunroofs.

Well played in all aspects,

Liked it very much,

well done!

I too felt summer but then again, it's always summer down here.
Loved the line Everybody's wearing summer smiles. That hooked me in and it just got more 'humid'as it went along.

Also Let's wash the salt water off our lips was another solid hook for me.

Great writing and as always I look forward to more and more.

Great intro! Love that.

Another strong groove and I like the melody too.

That chord change @ "A song of a long hot summer" works a treat.

This one gives me a Springsteen vibe.

Very nice!
