The Last Summer Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We made a bed in the back of your dad's pickup
Six more weeks, staying home 'til our youth was up
In the tall grass I told you
I'd never move on

[Verse 2]
August moved above the river, made the water sit flat
I knew we were leavin', but I didn't know that
It was all set in motion
And we couldn't go back

[Chorus]
In the last summer
(We ain't ever goin' back again, we ain't ever goin' back again, we ain't never)
In the last summer
(We ain't ever goin' back again, we ain't ever goin' back again, no we're never)

Like the sixth Moon landing
Okinawa notwithstanding
Ride-or-die are all disbanding

We ain't ever goin' back again

[Verse 2]
We made plans for the world, thinkin' we'd stay the same
Burn Moses's bush, where the leaves don't change
Our lives were the dust
Just the dust and the light [Chorus]
In the last summer
(We ain't ever goin' back again, we ain't ever goin' back again
We ain't never)
In the last summer
(We ain't ever goin' back again, we ain't ever goin' back again
No we're never)

Like the sixth Moon landing
Okinawa notwithstanding
Ride-or-die are all disbanding
(We ain't ever goin' back again)

[Post-Chorus]
Like Nixon's helicopter
The last stand for G. A. Custer
Alaska's last Blockbuster
(We ain't ever goin' back again)

New Orleans bounce, ????
Eisenhower to Havana
Fourth ring for Joe Montana
(We ain't ever goin' back again)

Like all the Myspace users
Or the three queen tutors
An open door for D. B. Cooper

We ain't ever goin' back again

I ain't ever goin' back again
You ain't ever goin' back again
We ain't ever goin' back again
