The screen door slams with a gentle creak
Watermelon juice running down my cheek
Neighbors wave from their old front porch
And the sun sets like a fading torch
I toss on my jacket and head into town
The streets are quiet as the sun goes down
A dog barks once, but no one seems to care
And then the smell of burgers fills the air
And all the boys, hands in their jeans, walk by
White shirts shining under the evening sky
Their smiles say more than words ever could
No hurry, no worry, just feeling too good
A glance, a laugh, and they're gone with the breeze
Like summer itself, slipping through the trees
I step inside the café's open door
My girls are there, like every night before
We grab our spot in the corner booth
Sharing stories, no need for truth
I step outside, the air feels sweet
He says, "I'm new, just finding my feet"
I laugh, "Well, you've got the right spot"
He smiles, "Guess luck's what I've got"
And all the boys, hands in their jeans, walk by
White shirts shining under the evening sky
Their smiles say more than words ever could
No hurry, no worry, just feeling too good
A glance, a laugh, and they're gone with the breeze
Like summer itself, slipping through the trees
Feels like this summer's got a magic of its own
Would be nice if it stuck around a little longer
And all the boys, hands in their jeans, walk by
White shirts shining under the evening sky
Their smiles say more than words ever could
No hurry, no worry, just feeling too good
A glance, a laugh, and they're gone with the breeze
Like summer itself, slipping through the trees
