Summer Of '89 by Butch Walker

Sa - Tur - Day!

Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa

Changing strings
Banging on things
A couple of girls from the school
Would (1)____________ to KISS
With rockets for fists
Acting (2)________ (3)__________________ fools

Learned how to smoke
Told (4)__________ jokes
Talked about loose (5)__________ (6)________ Rome
I (7)________ out with most of them
So I raised a toast to them
Especially now that I'm old

And they're 45 with husbands who don't like their wives
3 or 4 kids, make enough to survive
In their paper (8)________ jobs
While their teen heartthrobs
Are playing in bands
Or they're dead

Can I go back to when
I was the winner
Way before the (9)________ came
And washed away the sinners?
Everyone was something and
Nothing was done right or wrong

Oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa

Smothering the (10)__________ of a '69 summer
Played through a speaker of fuzz
Nobody knew Bryan Adams wasn't cool
The TV just told me he was

Always (11)__________ the sound
Get me out of this town
Resonating clear in my head
Chuck ran away with our gear and the drugs
Ya know I'm pretty sure that he's dead

Or he's 46 and alone
Cast the heaviest stone
Suburban cover band playing bad to the bone
In a bathtub of meth
You can smell your own death
You know when you can't look (12)________ (13)________ in the eye

Can I just go back to when
I was the winner
Way before the (14)________ came
And washed away the sinners?
Everyone was something
And I could never do any wrong

Oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa

Went back to the woods
Where I hid all my goods
In a rusted out Cadillac door
We all get nostalgic
And fall for the hat trick
Of thinking it'll be like before

Like the football jocks
Trying to please their pops
And the (15)______________ (16)__________ everything their bad uncles taught
And the teachers who cared
More (17)________ I ever knew
They knew I played clubs
Let me sleep through school
And my day job boss
Who (18)__________ it up as a loss
But let me leave when I wanted and I (19)__________ got caught
Sleeping out on the field
In the (20)________ of my truck
Breaking into the bars
Stealing the beer and (21)______________ fucked
By a girl twice my age, making (22)______________ wage
But the tan lines (23)________ good
And she had a (24)________ face
Is this (25)________ I've become?
Is this all I've become?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I

I (26)__________ go back to when
I was the winner
Way before the rain came
And washed (27)________ the sinners
Everyone was someone and
And I could never do any wrong

Oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, (28)________
