Here's the rain
It's konokin' at my door
Hand-in-hand
She comes with the tax man

Always chasing me
For just one more thing
On my chest like
The weight of the world

I need a getaway
But not tomorrow
I've got to find a better day
A little place where the sun is shining

The grass is green
And the people are smiling

Jump into the car with me
Drive on down to summertime
Jump into the car with me
Drive on down to summertime

Summertime

The bed shakers as the
Bus passes on the street
The window rattles
It stops me from getting to sleep

Foreing walls are closing in on me
Invading my space like a bad dream
Things are not what they seem
And i know you feel it, too

All of you

Jump into the car with me
Drive on down to summertime
Jump into the car with me
Drive on down to summertime

Summertime

Things are much nicer
Down there
Though they're really
Not much better

Well, people don't seem
To mind so much
When the days are longer
And the nights are hotter

You can sit in a park or a field
All day long
Feel the sun shining on your face
And forget everything that's wrong

Jump into the car with me
Drive on down to summertime
Jump into the car with me
Drive on down to summertime

Summertime
