It's almost that time of year for kids to get out of school and Yoo Hoo bottles to roll on floorboards. Almost every year, country songs praising the warmer months come out just in time to blare out the windows of bondo colored Mustangs and jacked up trucks everywhere. Well, truth is, once you pass the age of 25, summer just isn't as much fun.
Summer Blows
©2010 Trailer satires
Ice cream melts and beer gets hot
Girls wear skirts even when they're not
The lawn needs mowing every single week
You might get chiggers if you take a leak outside
Man, summer blows
Gas prices rise and the creek gets low
There's screamin' kids everywhere you go
The AC's running from dusk till dusk
Honey-do list has the wife on my butt
Damn, summer blows
I still remember
Those May to Septembers
'fore I graduated school
I did so much livin'
Hangin' out, going swimmin'
Yeah summer used to be cool
But now that I'm older
No tan on my shoulders
All that seems so long ago
All work and no playin'
And that's got me sayin'
Dadgummit summer blows
My white shirt's the color of sweat
Truck's runnin' hot and my Right Guard left
When I get home all there is to see
Is reality shows on the damn TV
Hoo, summer blows!
Bridge
Gimme some cool air
Gimme some fall
Gimme kids back in school
And gimme football!
But, I still remember
Those May to Septembers
'fore I graduated school
I did so much livin'
Hangin' out, going swimmin'
Yeah summer used to be cool
But now that I'm older
No tan on my shoulders
All that seems so long ago
All work and no playin'
And that's got me sayin'
Dadgummit summer blows
This is a very well-written song IMO. I'd listen to it.
