Lyrics
Momma says it¹s a perfect night For cold potato soup She sends me out back to the garden To cut the wild onion Daddy¹s in the butterfly chair Ice cubes clinking in his glass of bourbon The ember from his cigarette Briefly illuminates the sweat on his sunburned brow Momma says it takes her back To the dog days down in southern Georgia Walking single file across the trestle High above the riverbed Daddy says it takes him back To his salad days out on Eastern Long Island Sneakers squeaking on the varnished deck Of his cousins 65 foot ketch In the summertime An evening so sublime So sure that you were mine In the summertime I toss my luckiest stone Playing hopscotch on the patio Lazy fireflies weave their way To the deafening cicada crescendo The half moon slips behind a cloud The bats zig-zag in the gloaming Play by play on the radio Draws me to the light inside my home In the summertime An evening so sublime So sure that you were mine, In the summertime
