In the summer Watchin' all the girls pass by
A G
When your mama Heard the way that you'd been talking
Bm
I tried to tell you
A
That all she'd wanna do is cry
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
Now we end up takin' the long way home
G A
Lookin' overdressed wearin' buckets of stale cologne
Bm
It's so hard to see streets on a country road
G
When your glasses in the garbage
A
And your Continental's just been towed
[Chorus]
