A strange thought just crossed my mind paid the rains back in kind. |
|
Twas the thought of sweet May coming on. |
|
The days are running so slow, my heart is aching to go, |
|
and my feet surely itch for the road. |
|
Mm the long hot summer. |
|
Oh now the summer long. |
|
I have been tied to this land since the day I was planned, |
|
By the need to feed mmm my body and my mind; |
|
Look you can work 'till you're grey, waste your whole life away; |
|
What security then do you find? |
|
Mm the long hot summer. |
|
Oh now the summer long. |
|
I don't have no one to cheat, don't have no one to beat, |
|
You know, I just need some room to uncurl, |
|
I don't have no aim in view, just some dreams to pursue, |
|
As I wallow around in the world. |
|
Things I must do places to see, |
|
Things I must do, now I've nothing now to hold me here, |
|
And I'll take the southward road. |
