Summer People

I got sand between my toes and beach tar on my feet

And my air conditioner don't work in this late August heat

I got a top forty radio song stuck in my head

Can't shake it loose can't get myself out of bed

And I'm tired of the TV news think I'll read a book instead



I been waitin' tables all summer at this place on the strip

Bustin' all kinds of business for two bucks and tips

I got a long list of reasons and a very short fuse

A half pack of cigarettes and a room full of blues

And I'm tired of these summer people with their summer tattoos



I know you don't wanna hear it but I'm telling you now

'Cause i think somebody's got to come clean

About this whole thing somehow

You say you were only tryin' to get yourself free

Don't mean nothin' as far as i can see

You ain't no better than them the way you walked out on me



I think I'm callin' it quits i think I've had enough

Of people leaving their messes for me to clean up

I'm gonna take a vacation go somewhere in the snow

I'm tired of the sun and the top forty radio

And I'm tired of these summer people

Wish they'd all just go home
