Back in the country
Livin´ on the double e
In the sunshine of her life
There´s a ready young filly
And mom and daddy
Won´t let her leave
Mom and papa won´t let her go

But when they go out dancin´
She breaks out on her own
She´s hot enough to
Burn the house down
And mom and daddy don´t know

When edith and earl
Renamed the double e
They nearly made history
The neighbors rose up
And some of them were mad as hell
´cause it used to be the double L

Change comes slow in the country
When you´re new
There´s a lot of distrust
Years pass by uneventful,
And memories turn to dust

Meanwhile granny
Has got her bright colors on
The sunshine in her eyes
Cruisin´ by the bars
And honky tonks where she met grandpa
And caught that young man´s eye

Dusty white eldorado
Cruisin´ through the trees
Slippin´ through the shadows
Of what used to be

Back in the day
Livin´ in the summer of love
Livin´ in the summer of love

Grandma´s ok
But not the same since grandpa´s gone
She´s livin´ in the summer of love

Back in the day
Livin´ in the summer of love
Livin´ in the summer of love

Livin´ in the summer of love

Livin´ in the summer of love

Livin´ in the summer of love
