American Summer (Original Song by Emily Fralick) by thursday1016

Here's a new one; I wrote the bulk of it this past summer while actually out in the middle of Nolin Lake, but I only just got around to recording. I hope it takes you away from the nasty winter weather for a few minutes!!

Lyrics:

New day in the sun, running on fumes

Run? I will run if need be…all the way to your door

We’ll grab a bite wherever you choose

And I will crack the window as you push the pedal down to the floor

And on the radio, loud and clear, coming through

They’re playing our favorite tune

And it’s hot this June like you would not believe

Though winter can claim your health

You can find yourself in the American summer heat

 

The horizon is hot, our backs to the east

Play? I will play my guitar; I’ll write something for you

We’ll take a drive, do whatever you please

And I will crack the window, set your eyes all ablaze by the moon

And on the radio, loud and clear, just for you

They’re playing our favorite tune

And it’s hot this June like you would not believe

Though winter can claim your health

You can find yourself in the American summer heat

You’re singing your favorite words

And your voice reverberates and sets me free

Though winter turns our skin tough

There’s a lot to love in the American summer heat

They’re playing our favorite tune

And it’s hot this June like you would not believe

Though winter can hurt like hell

I become myself when my back sticks to the seat

You’re humming your favorite verse,

And your voice reverberates and sets me free

Though winter turns our skin tough, 

There’s a lot to love in the American summer heat

(Restless, tired, it’s cold enough;

It’s no wonder we can’t fall in love)

They’re playing our favorite tune 

And it’s hot this June like you would not believe

Though winter can claim your health

You can find yourself in the American summer heat

You’re singing your favorite line

And your eyes meet mine, one smile and I am free

Though winter turns our skin tough

You can fall in love in the American summer heat

(Restless, tired, it’s cold enough

It’s no wonder we can’t fall in love

Restless, tired, it’s cold enough

Can we fall in love?)
