[Verse 1]
Summer has surrendered
The  boys are back in town
The  kids are going crazy
The deal is going down
And I'd have to be a liar
To  say you never crossed my mind
'Cause  I thought of you a shit-ton
When I was doing time

[Verse 2]
I  got beat down by the system
I got picked up by my folks
I got drunk instead of crying
It's my favorite little hoax
This  year the poetry was sloppy
This year everybody died
America, the Beautiful
God's no longer on your side

[Chorus]
I finally got it where I [wanted/want it]
And there's no need to pretend
And my whole life is over all over again

[Verse 3]
Well, love is still the answer
To a question never posed
All dressed up for the letdown
In a dirty pair of clothes
I fell in love so many times today
And no one knew but me
I'm a terrible secret-keeper
When there's secrets I must keep
