Well, the streetlights shine down on Blessing Avenue Lovers they walk by, holding hands by two A breeze crosses the porch, bicycle spokes spin 'round My jackets on, 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, me by
A kid's rubber ball smacks Off the gutter 'neath the 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 But I know they're gonna turn my way
And the girls in their summer clothes In cool of the evening light The girls in their summer clothes, pass me by
Frankie's diner, an old friend on the edge of town The neon sign 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 your thoughts now my boy, Bill”.
She went away, she cut like a knife 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 my feet
The girls in their summer clothes In the cool of the evening light The girls in their summer clothes, pass me by
The girls in their summer clothes In cool of the evening light The girls in their summer clothes, pass me by
