Marshes and cat-tails and red-winged blackbirds
Summers that lasted forever and a day
Windrows and fence-lines and fields full of good times
The lingering scent of new mown hay
Bicycle tires grinding on gravel roads
Cicadas humming the heat waves of the day
Going like sixty in a beeline down the baseline
Crossing Twin-Bridges on the way to Frenchman's Bay
Keeping one eye on those ditches
Looking for empty pop bottles
They're as good as cash for candy
Down at Goldering's Grocery Store
There's a fine selection of confection
On display behind the counter
Puts a smile on your face
Just walking through that door
Half a dozen empties buys a bottle of cream soda
With just enough left over for some double-bubble gum
Ju-jubes and jawbreakers blackballs and licorice twizzlers
Candy cigarettes and wax-lips just for fun
Cap guns and cowboys and caped crusaders
Super secret hideouts hidden deep in the woods
Pirate treasure buried in the rockpile by the lake
Good guys and bad guys, Merry Men and Robin Hoods
All gone now, nothing left but the memories
You can make a turn for home but home has been erased
Redeveloped, subdivided, and buried under progress
Summer's gone away and it hasn't left a trace
Marshes and cat-tails and red-winged blackbirds
Summers that lasted forever and a day
Marshes and cat-tails and red-winged blackbirds
Summers that lasted forever and a day
Windrows and fence-lines and fields full of good times
The lingering scent of new mown hay
Bicycle tires grinding on gravel roads
Cicadas humming the heat waves of the day
Going like sixty in a beeline down the baseline
Crossing Twin-Bridges on the way to Frenchman's Bay
Keeping one eye on those ditches
Looking for empty pop bottles
They're as good as cash for candy
Down at Goldering's Grocery Store
There's a fine selection of confection
On display behind the counter
Puts a smile on your face
Just walking through that door
Half a dozen empties buys a bottle of cream soda
With just enough left over for some double-bubble gum
Ju-jubes and jawbreakers blackballs and licorice twizzlers
Candy cigarettes and wax-lips just for fun
Cap guns and cowboys and caped crusaders
Super secret hideouts hidden deep in the woods
Pirate treasure buried in the rockpile by the lake
Good guys and bad guys, Merry Men and Robin Hoods
All gone now, nothing left but the memories
You can make a turn for home but home has been erased
Redeveloped, subdivided, and buried under progress
Summer's gone away and it hasn't left a trace
Marshes and cat-tails and red-winged blackbirds
Summers that lasted forever and a day
