Summer Of '89 by Butch Walker

Sa - Tur - Day!

Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa

Changing strings
Banging on things
A (1)____________ of girls (2)________ the school
Would listen to KISS
With rockets for fists
Acting like Saturdays fools

Learned how to smoke
Told dirty jokes
Talked about loose (3)__________ from Rome
I (4)________ out (5)________ most of them
So I raised a (6)__________ to them
Especially now that I'm old

And they're 45 with (7)________________ who don't like their wives
3 or 4 kids, make enough to survive
In their paper (8)________ jobs
While their teen heartthrobs
Are (9)______________ in bands
Or they're dead

Can I go (10)________ to when
I was the winner
Way (11)____________ the rain came
And washed away the sinners?
Everyone was something and
Nothing was done (12)__________ or wrong

Oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa

Smothering the cover of a '69 summer
Played through a speaker of fuzz
Nobody knew Bryan Adams wasn't cool
The TV just told me he was

Always heard the sound
Get me out of (13)________ town
Resonating clear in my head
Chuck ran away (14)________ our gear and the drugs
Ya know I'm pretty sure that he's dead

Or he's 46 and alone
Cast the heaviest stone
Suburban (15)__________ band (16)______________ bad to the bone
In a bathtub of meth
You can (17)__________ your own death
You know (18)________ you can't look your past in the eye

Can I just go back to when
I was the winner
Way before the rain came
And washed away the sinners?
Everyone was something
And I could never do any wrong

Oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa

Went back to the woods
Where I hid all my goods
In a rusted out Cadillac door
We all get nostalgic
And fall for the hat trick
Of thinking it'll be like before

Like the football jocks
Trying to please (19)__________ pops
And the (20)______________ aping everything (21)__________ bad uncles taught
And the teachers who cared
More than I ever knew
They knew I (22)____________ clubs
Let me sleep through school
And my day job boss
Who wrote it up as a loss
But let me leave when I (23)____________ and I never got caught
Sleeping out on the field
In the back of my truck
Breaking into the bars
Stealing the beer and (24)______________ fucked
By a girl twice my age, making minimum wage
But the tan lines (25)________ good
And she had a good face
Is (26)________ what I've become?
Is this all I've become?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I become...?
When do I

I wanna go back to when
I was the winner
Way before the rain came
And washed (27)________ the sinners
Everyone was someone and
And I could (28)__________ do any wrong

Oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa
