Lyrics

Said goodbye to summer,
Making love with her,
Said goodbye to summer,
Deep inside and sure,
Said goodbye to summer,
Ate up both her legs,
Said goodbye to summer,
Slurped up the broth and dregs.

Said goodbye to summer,
Now seems like a blur,
Said goodbye to summer,
All I could endure,
Said goodbye to summer,
All I had to hold,
Said goodbye to summer,
Found my youth was old.

Said goodbye to summer,
Fled my life of crime,
Said goodbye to summer,
Scrubbed off the guilt and grime,
Said goodbye to summer,
Felt my life had changed,
Said goodbye to summer,
Diagnosed Deranged.

Said goodbye to summer,
Took a steady job,
Said goodbye to summer,
Joined the legal mob,
Said goodbye to summer,
Put in my 30 years,
Said goodbye to summer,
Retired on all my tears.

Said goodbye to summer,
Heard the screen door crack,
Said goodbye to summer,
Found my front was back,
Said goodbye to summer,
Tossing fears to flames,
Said goodbye to summer,
Kindled it with names.
