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 girls from Rome
I made out (3)________ (4)________ of them
So I (5)____________ a toast to them
Especially now that I'm old

And they're 45 with husbands who don't like their wives
3 or 4 kids, (6)________ (7)____________ to survive
In their paper mill jobs
While their teen heartthrobs
Are playing in bands
Or they're dead

Can I go back to when
I was the winner
Way before the rain came
And (8)____________ away the sinners?
Everyone was something and
Nothing was done right or wrong

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

Smothering the (9)__________ 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 (10)________ town
Resonating (11)__________ in my head
Chuck ran away with our (12)________ and the drugs
Ya (13)________ I'm pretty sure (14)________ he's dead

Or he's 46 and alone
Cast the heaviest stone
Suburban cover band playing bad to the bone
In a bathtub of meth
You can smell your own death
You know when 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 (15)________________ it'll be like before

Like the football jocks
Trying to please their pops
And the stoners (16)__________ everything their bad uncles taught
And the (17)________________ who cared
More than I ever knew
They knew I (18)____________ clubs
Let me (19)__________ through school
And my day job boss
Who wrote it up as a loss
But let me leave when I wanted and I never got caught
Sleeping out on the field
In the back of my truck
Breaking into the bars
Stealing the beer and getting fucked
By a (20)________ twice my age, making minimum wage
But the tan lines were good
And she had a good face
Is this what I've become?
Is (21)________ 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 (22)__________ go back to when
I was the winner
Way before the rain came
And (23)____________ away the sinners
Everyone was (24)______________ and
And I could (25)__________ do any wrong

Oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, (26)________
