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 (1)________ the school
Would listen to KISS
With rockets for fists
Acting like Saturdays fools

Learned how to smoke
Told (2)__________ jokes
Talked about (3)__________ girls from Rome
I (4)________ out with most of them
So I (5)____________ a toast to them
Especially now that I'm old

And they're 45 (6)________ husbands who don't (7)________ their wives
3 or 4 kids, make (8)____________ to survive
In their paper mill 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 cover of a '69 summer
Played (10)______________ a speaker of fuzz
Nobody (11)________ Bryan Adams wasn't cool
The TV just told me he was

Always heard the sound
Get me out of this town
Resonating clear in my head
Chuck ran away (12)________ our gear and the drugs
Ya know I'm (13)____________ sure that he's dead

Or he's 46 and alone
Cast the heaviest stone
Suburban (14)__________ band playing bad to the bone
In a (15)______________ of meth
You can smell your own death
You know when you can't look your (16)________ in the eye

Can I just go (17)________ to when
I was the winner
Way before the rain came
And (18)____________ (19)________ 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 (20)________________ door
We all get nostalgic
And (21)________ for the hat trick
Of thinking it'll be (22)________ before

Like the football jocks
Trying to please their pops
And the stoners aping everything their bad uncles taught
And the teachers who cared
More than I ever knew
They knew I played clubs
Let me sleep through school
And my day job boss
Who wrote it up as a loss
But let me (23)__________ when I wanted and I never got caught
Sleeping out on the field
In the back of my truck
Breaking into the bars
Stealing the beer and getting fucked
By a (24)________ twice my age, (25)____________ minimum wage
But the tan lines (26)________ good
And she had a good face
Is this (27)________ 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...?

I wanna go back to when
I was the winner
Way before the rain came
And washed (28)________ the sinners
Everyone was (29)______________ and
And I could never do any wrong

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