Girls In Their Summer Clothes

Lyrics By Bruce Springsteen

Well, the streetlights

shine down on Blessing Avenue

Lovers they walk by,

holding hands two by two

A breeze crosses the porch,

bicycle spokes spin 'round

My jacket's on, I'm out the door

And tonight I'm gonna

burn this town down

The girls in their summer clothes

In the cool of the evening light

The girls in their summer clothes,

pass me by

A kid's rubber ball smacks

Off the gutter 'neath the lamp light

Big bank clock chimes

Off go the sleepy front porch lights

Downtown the stores alight as the

evening's underway

Things been a little tight

But I know their gonna turn my way

And the girls in their summer clothes

In the cool of the evening light

The girls in their summer clothes,

pass me by

Frankie's diner, an old friend

on the edge of town

The neon sigh spinning round

Like a cross over the lost and found

The fluorescent lights

flick over Pop's Grill

Shaniqua brings the 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 life

In just a glance,

down here on magic street

Love's a fool's dance

I ain't got to much sense,

but I still got my feet

The girls in their summer clothes

In the cool of the evening light

The girls in their summer clothes,

pass me by

The girls in their summer clothes

In the cool of the evening light

The girls in their summer clothes,

pass me by
