Bruce Springsteen — Girls In Their Summer Clothes lyrics

Lyrics

Well the street lights shine
Down on Blessing Avenue
Lovers they walk by Holding hands two by two
A breeze crosses a porch
Bicycle spokes spin 'round
Jacket’s on, I’m out the door
Tonight I’m going to burn this town down
And the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clothes
Pass me by
A kid’s rubber ball smacks
Off the gutter 'neath the lamp light
Big bank clock chimes
Off goes the sleepy front porch lights
Downtown the store’s alive
As the evening’s underway
Things been a little tight
But I know they’re gonna turn my way
And the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clothes
Pass me by Frankie’s Diner
Over on the edge of town
Neon sign spinnin' round
Like a cross over the lost and found
Fluorescent lights
Flicker above Bob’s Grill
Shaniqua brings a coffee and asks «fill?»
And says «penny for your thoughts now my poor Bill»
She went away
She cut me like a knife
I had a beautiful thing
Maybe you just saved my life
And in just a glance
Down here on Magic Street
Love’s a fool’s dance
I ain’t got much sense but I still got my feet
And the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clothes
Pass me by And the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clothes
Pass me by
