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
|
