    Lyrics

    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 jackets 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 kids 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 sign 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
    Loves a fool's dance
    And I ain't got 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
