Well the street lights shine
Down on Blessing Avenue
Lovers they walk by
Holdin' hands two by twoA breeze crosses the porch
Bicycle spokes spin 'round
Jacket's on, I'm out the door
Tonight I'm gonna burn this town downAnd the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clothes
Pass me byKid's rubber ball smacks
Off the gutter 'neath the lamp light
Big bank clock chimes
Off go the sleepy front porch lightsDowntown the store's alive
As the evening's underway
Things been a little tight
But I know they're gonna turn my wayAnd the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clothes
Pass me byFrankie's Diner's
Over on the edge of town
Neon sign spinnin' round
Like a cross over the lost and foundFluorescent lights
Flicker above Bob's Grill
Shaniqua brings a coffee and asks "fill?"
And says "penny for your thoughts now my boy Bill"She went away
She cut me like a knife
Hello beautiful thing
Maybe you could save my lifeIn just a glance
Down here on Magic Street
Love's a fool's dance
I ain't got much sense but I still got my feetAnd the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clothes
Pass me byAnd the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clothes
Pass me byLa la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la la
