Well, streetlights shine down on Blessing Avenue Lovers they walk by, holding hands two by two A breeze crosses the porch, bicycle spokes spin 'round My jackets I'm out the door And tonight I'm gonna burn this town down
The girls in their summer clothes In the cool of the evening light The girls in their summer clothes, pass me by
A kid's rubber ball smacks Off the gutter 'neath lamp light Big bank clock chimes Off go the sleepy front porch lights Downtown the stores alight as the evening's underway Things been a little tight I know they're gonna turn my way
And the girls in their summer clothes In the cool of the evening light girls in their summer clothes, pass me by
diner, an old friend on the edge of town The neon sign spinning round Like a cross over the lost and found The fluorescent lights flick over Pop's Grill Shaniqua brings the coffee and asks, Fill? and says “ Penny for your thoughts now boy, Bill”.
She went away, she cut me like a Hello beautiful thing, maybe you could save my life In just a glance, down here on magic street Love’s a fool's dance And I ain't got much sense, but I still got feet
The girls in their summer clothes In the cool of the evening light The girls their summer clothes, pass me by
The girls in their summer clothes In the cool of the evening light The girls in their summer clothes, pass me by
