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 couple of girls from the school
Would (1)____________ to KISS
With (2)______________ for fists
Acting (3)________ Saturdays fools

Learned how to smoke
Told (4)__________ jokes
Talked about (5)__________ girls from Rome
I made out with most of them
So I raised a toast to them
Especially now (6)________ I'm old

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

Can I go (10)________ to when
I was the winner
Way before the (11)________ 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 (13)________ me he was

Always heard the sound
Get me out of (14)________ town
Resonating clear in my head
Chuck ran away with our gear and the drugs
Ya (15)________ I'm pretty sure that he's dead

Or he's 46 and alone
Cast the heaviest stone
Suburban (16)__________ band playing bad to the bone
In a bathtub of meth
You can (17)__________ your own death
You know (18)________ you can't look (19)________ 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 (20)__________ 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 their pops
And the stoners aping everything their bad uncles taught
And the teachers who cared
More than I ever knew
They knew I played clubs
Let me sleep through school
And my day job boss
Who (21)__________ 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 girl twice my age, (22)____________ minimum wage
But the tan (23)__________ were good
And she had a good face
Is this 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 (24)________ to when
I was the winner
Way before the rain came
And washed (25)________ the sinners
Everyone was someone and
And I could never do any wrong

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