Bob Dylan - Summer Days Lyrics
Words and music by bob dylanSummer days, summer nights are goneSummer days and summer nights are goneI know a place where theres still somethin going onIve got a house on the hill, I got hogs out in the mudIve got a house on the hill, I got hogs all out in the mudIve got a long haired woman, she got royal indian bloodEverybody get ready, lift up your glasses and singEverybody get ready, lift up your glasses and singWell Im standin on the table, Im proposin a toast to the kingIm driving in the flats in a cadillac carThe girls all say youre a worn out starMy pockets are loaded, and Im spending every dimeHow can you say you love someone else, you know its me all the timeWell the fogs so thick you cant spy the landWell the fogs so thick that you cant even spy the landWhat good are you anyway if you cant stand up to some old businessman?Weddin bells are ringin and the choir is beginning to singYes, the weddin bells are ringin and the choirs beginning to singWhat looks good in the day, at night is another thingShes looking in to my eyes, and shes a-holding my handShe looks in to my eyes, shes holding my handShe say, you cant repeat the past,I say you cant? what do you mean you cant? of course you can.Where do you come from, where do you go?Sorry, that is nothing you would need to knowWell, my backs been to the wall so long it seems like its stuckWhy dont you break my heart one more time, just for good luckI got eight carburators and boys Im usin em allWell, I got eight carburators and boys Im usin em allIm short on gas, my motors startin to stallMy dogs are barking, there must be someone aroundMy dogs are barking, there must be someone aroundI got my hammer ringin pretty baby, but the nails aint goin downIf you got something to say, speak or hold your peaceWell, if you got something to say, speak now or hold your peaceIf its information you want, you can get it from the policePoliticians got on his joggin shoesHe must be runnin for office, got no time to loseSuckin the blood out of the genius of generosityYou been rollin your eyes, you been teasin meStandin by gods river my souls beginning to shakeStandin by gods river my souls beginning to shakeIm countin on you, love, to gimme a breakWell, Im leaving in the morning, as soon as the dark clouds liftYes, Im leaving in the morning, just as soon as the dark clouds liftIm breakin the roof, set fire to the place as a partin giftSummer days, summer nights are goneSummer days, summer nights are goneI know a place where theres still something goin on
