Sweet Summertime (Growin’ Old)
by 20 Minutes to Park

She was sitting in the diner
Looking out that window bay
She said “Someday I’m gonna get out of this town and break away.”

I was sitting in the kitchen
Breathing in that morning light
I said “Someday I’m gonna get out of this town and break away.”

But oh, oh, oh, sweet summertime
(Just a growin’ old now)
(Just a growin’ old)
And oh, oh, oh, can it be yours and mine?

She packed a pillow in her suitcase
Said that “Leaving ain’t a crime” (it ain’t a crime, it ain’t a crime, it ain’t)
She swore someday that we would meet each other on down the line

I watched her walk on to that Metro
Waved a hand and hitched a ride
I swore someday that we would meet each other on down the line

But oh, oh, oh, sweet summertime
(Just a growin’ old now)
(Just a growin’ old)
And oh, oh, oh, can it be yours and mine?

(Just a growin’ old now)
Sweet Summertime
(Just a growin’ old)
Sweet Summertime
(Just a growin’ old now)
Sweet Summertime
(Just a growin’ old)
Sweet Summertime

Well I stood outside the diner after ten years had passed by
Wishing she still would be a sitting staring at that sunlit sky
And saying “Why did I only wave goodbye,
When I could have hopped the Metro so we’d share our summertime?”

Then she tapped me on the back
And there she stood with wrinkled eyes
The years had made her older with two children by her side
And she said “Why did I only wave goodbye,
When I could have hitched a ride so we could share our summertime?”

And oh, oh, oh, sweet summertime
(Just a growin’ old now)
(Just a growin’ old)
And oh, oh, oh, can it be yours and mine?

(Just a growin’ old now)
Sweet Summertime
(Just a growin’ old)
Sweet Summertime
(Just a growin’ old now)
Sweet Summertime
(Just a growin’ old)
Sweet Summertime
(Just a growin’ old now)
Sweet Summertime
(Just a growin’ old)
Sweet Summertime

She left me sitting in that diner
I was looking out that window bay
I said “Someday I’m going to get out of this town and break away.”

And I’ll break away
And I’ll break away
And I break away
Got to get out of this town
