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 like Saturdays fools

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

And they're 45 (6)________ husbands who don't like their wives
3 or 4 kids, (7)________ (8)____________ to survive
In their paper mill jobs
While (9)__________ teen heartthrobs
Are playing in bands
Or they're dead

Can I go back to when
I was the winner
Way before the (10)________ came
And washed away the sinners?
Everyone was something and
Nothing was done (11)__________ 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 through a speaker of fuzz
Nobody knew Bryan (12)__________ wasn't cool
The TV just told me he was

Always heard the sound
Get me out of (13)________ town
Resonating clear in my head
Chuck ran away with our gear and the drugs
Ya (14)________ 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 your past in the eye

Can I just go back to when
I was the winner
Way before the rain 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 (15)________________ door
We all get nostalgic
And fall for the hat trick
Of thinking it'll be (16)________ before

Like the (17)________________ jocks
Trying to please their pops
And the stoners (18)__________ everything their bad uncles taught
And the teachers who cared
More than I (19)________ knew
They knew I (20)____________ clubs
Let me (21)__________ (22)______________ school
And my day job boss
Who wrote it up as a loss
But let me leave (23)________ I (24)____________ 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 girl twice my age, making minimum wage
But the tan lines were good
And she had a good face
Is this what I've become?
Is (25)________ 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 away the sinners
Everyone was (27)______________ and
And I could never do any wrong

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