Summer Of Love (woodstock `99) Lyrics

 "written from the perspective of a young man attending woodstock
'99." kb

 

 Me and joey came a long way, to hear that singer

 Play the one that we know so well

 He got up there and gave us the finger

 Told me and joey to go straight to hell

 

 Me and joey in a blacktop garden

 A big old burnin' sun above

 And the fires will soon be starting

 But this ain't no summer of love

 

 Me and joey had a good time with some farmer's daughter

 Left her lyin' in a muddy hole

 You charge an arm and a leg for a bottle of water

 Well hey, i guess that's rock and roll

 

 Me and joey in a blacktop garden

 A big old burnin' sun above

 And the fires will soon be starting

 But this ain't no summer of love

 

 Now me and joey's in his dad's car, overheating

 Two hundred miles i-95

 Joey's dad gives him a hell of a beatin'

 Says we was lucky just to be alive

 Someone's knockin' on the back door, momma's crying

 And my head is hurtin' mighty bad

 Tell you old man, and i ain't lyin

 Best damn time i ever had

 

 Me and joey in a blacktop garden

 A big old burnin' sun above

 And the fires will soon be starting

 But this ain't no summer of love
