My sister got bit by a copperhead snake In the woods behind the house Nobody was home so I grabbed her foot And I sucked that poison out My sister got better in a month or two When the swellin' it went down But I'd started off my teenage years With a poison in my mouth And we were too young to be hippies Missed out on the love We turned to a teen in the late 70's In the summer of the drugs Mama and daddy could never understand Their life was never dull Their idea of a rollickin' time Was a kitchen tap appall Acid grass downs and speed Junk those days were made of How could they suspect those kids Where the monsters meet their makers? And they were too young to be hippies Missed out on the love Learned from the teen of the late 70's In the summer of the drugs Boys and girls in every town Sand man spread his sand around Now we are just wakin' up From a summer of drugs Mommies and daddies were too shy to talk About those birds and bees Integrated schools had stopped The facts of life were these Girls and boys went away and came back Empty after the weekend The talk on the phone consisted of The hushed voices speakin' And they were too young to be hippies Missed out on the love Learned from the teen of the late 70's In the summer of the drugs Yes they were too young, they were to fast Oh the summer of the drugs
