Out Of Summertime

It's the Duquoin, Illinois county fair

I could still see her standing there like a dream

Flatbed stage on a little dirt track

She was second row, her hair pulled back

We were young and free



Oh, she could've been mine

But we ran out of summertime



Spent a few weeks out on a lake shore beach

Carved our names high as we could reach on an old wooden pier

We made plans we planned to keep

300 miles from her to me and her senior year

Oh, she could've been mine

But we ran out of summertime



And of all the things I let get away

She's the one that keeps me awake at night

And I've never seen days go by so fast

A little more sand falling through the glass

She was hot as July and sweet as sunshine

Oh, she could've been mine

But we ran out of summertime



If the days had only stayed that long

And those autumn leaves didn't have to fall

Oh, we'd have fell in love

'Cause what we felt on that Ferris wheel

Was just too right and just too real

But just not long enough



Oh, she could've been mine

But we ran out of summertime



And of all the things I let get away

She's the one that keeps me awake at night

And I've never seen days go by so fast

A little more sand falling through the glass

She was hot as July, sweet as sunshine

Oh, she could've been mine

But we ran out of summertime



And of all the things I let get away

She's the one that keeps me awake at night

And I've never seen days go by so fast

A little more sand falling through the glass

Sweet as sunshine



And of all the things I let get away

She's the one that keeps me awake at night

And I've never seen days go by so fast

A little more sand falling through the glass

She was hot as July, sweet as sunshine

Oh, she could've been mine

But we ran out of summertime
