Summer Night

You've traveled the river from end to end

Never found a true love anywhere you've been

You never broke a heart that wouldn't mend

On such a lovely summer night

Your hands' in your pockets as the band begin

Stand by the window, a touch of locust in the wind

And this might be just one more town you'll say you've been in

On such a lovely summer night

You take your chances when you start to roam

Waiting for slow dances and you ask to walk her home

And if she says please stay, you'll say, "I might"

On such a lovely summer night

You hold her close, yeah, and look her in the eye

You make her laugh then sing that one song to make her cry

And maybe this is that one town where there's no goodbye

On such a lovely summer night

You take your chances when you start to roam

Waiting for slow dances and you ask to walk her home

And if she says please stay, you'll say, "I might"

On such a lovely summer night

On such a lovely summer night
