Standard (EADGBE)
He didn't even get to see the summer settin', Dyin' all young
He didn't even get to see the summer settin', Dyin' all young
Well, the telephone rang off the hook while the sun was goin' down
She never heard her baby callin' now her baby ain't around
It broke his mama's heart something pulled him like the tide
Up on the banks of Methodonia laid down and closed his eyes
Summer nights ain't never gonna feel right Dyin' all young, oh
Chorus
Wanted to be there in your future want you to see-me-when-you-look-back
Want to be around to see you glow, little cowboy shine like lighting through a crack
But you climbed back in that saddle for one more fatal ride
If I had-it-all-to- do it all again I'd lock in you in your room this time
Summer nights ain't never gonna feel right Dyin' all young, oh
Chorus x2
Well, I don't like anything I'm seein' I don't like anything at
all
And when I come across your memory It always turns my skin to
crawl
I know I should feel lucky, lucky I'm alive
One day your love bloomed like a flower that flower up and died
We pump so much shit into this river, the river flows into the sea
Every- -day I think about you, could you ever think of me? Oh
Chorus
If you were here, I'd pick you up I'd make you say you'd had enough
(He didn't even get to see the summer settin' Dyin' all young)
I'd pat your skin pull out your hair. Why'd you go along and leave me
here?
(He didn't even get to see the summer settin' Dyin' all young)
Dyin' all young
(He-he didn't, he didn't, he didn't, he didn't)
Gonna meet your maker Dyin' all young
(He didn't even get to see the summer)
