Let me see
Here's a song that'll go on the next record
I'm going out to San Francisco, looks like it'll be my first record I've done outside of Memphis, outside of my comfort zone
Musicians I don't know, you know?
Looks like Chuck Prophet's gonna produce it, which is- woo!- pretty cool for me
Um yeah, anyway, this is a really dumb song. This is the dumbest song that'll be on that record
It's uh, a song about my childhood a little bit, little bit about old John Cougar Mellencamp
It's an homage if you will, or if you won't

[Verse]
It was undeniably summer
And I was certifiably cool
With my acid-washed jacket
And my stone-washed jeans
I rose out of the kiddie pool

And you were a walking want-ad
You had summer on your side
Our front yards faced each other's
From across the great divide

And the sunbeams cracked like jumper cables
I was cranking up the Mellencamp
And you were dancing barefoot on a picnic table
And damn it, girl
Truly god damn it, girl
Truly god damn it, girl
Truly god damn!
Woo! (That's the Mellencamp part!)
[Chorus]
I still remember every word you said
Like I always said I would
Since you walked on the water bed
Stood right there in my head
For good

[Verse]
You know you kept some honeysuckle
In that special dresser drawer
Every spring both knees buckle
Both knees buckle and I hit floor

I hit the floor, every spring
At the hint, at the scent
At the thought of that
Thing (I'm sorry...)

[Chorus]
I still remember every word you said
Like I always said I would
Since you walked on the water bed
Stood right there in my head
For good

[Verse]
The easy way
We used to play
When there was no such thing
As yesterday
We threw our two hearts high
The first half felt like
Flying!

[Chorus]
And I still remember every word you said
Like I always said I would
Since you walked on the water bed
Stood right there in my head
For good

[Spoken]
I'm not blowin' the mic out too much, am I?
Is that alright?
