I've got my first sunburn of the year while mowing the lawn and it's not full summer yet. I can't wait for all this overtime to cease. I plan to go to the river and drown a few worms/crickets while drinking more than a few cold ones!! And after buying a new tent (my last one died of old age) I'll be spending days at a time camped on the banks of the Tennessee River.The lyrics below, from a song by Eric Carmen of The Raspberries, are a moldy-oldie, but they fit. If you're old enough you may recall his songs "All By Myself" and "Almost Paradise" (Love Theme From Footloose).
I may be showing my age with these songs, but I've never lied about it yet and don't plan to start now. My motto is "I may grow old, but I refuse to grow up." This song fits how I hope this summer turns out. When I get too old to have fun or fall in love, y'all just kick some dirt over me, cause I'll be dead!
Top Down Summer
Wakin' up
And the sun is in my eyes
Temperature is rising
It's so hot
Shake it up
I go racing through the streets
Howling in the heat
And you know why
Girls in cars are driving through the city
Breaking hearts, but looking awful pretty
Baby, not so fast
Make the summer last
Top down summer
Are you ready for love?
Top down summer
We can drive to forever tonight
Hey baby, the right time's finally here
The top down time of the year
Take your Mustang off the blocks
Ain't nobody walks when it's sooo hot
Me and you
We can ride to town in style
Flash 'em all a smile
And you know what
I'm so high whenever we're together
I wish we could feel this way forever
Love is weatherproof
C'mon raise the roof
Top down summer
Are you ready for love?
Top down summer
We can drive to forever tonight
Hey baby, the right time's finally here
The top down time of the year
Are we close enough to touch
(Baby, let me show you how)
It's too hot to wear too much
(It's too late to turn back now)
Top down summer
Are you ready for love?
Top down summer
We can drive to forever tonight
Hey baby, the right time's finally here
The top down time of the year
