Standard (EADGBE)

He didn't even get to see the summer settin', Dyin' all young

He didn't even get to see the summer settin', Dyin' all young

Well, the telephone rang off the hook while the sun was goin' down

She never heard her baby callin' now her baby ain't around

It broke his mama's heart something pulled him like the tide

Up on the banks of Methodonia laid down and closed his eyes

Summer nights ain't never gonna feel right Dyin' all young, oh

Chorus

Wanted to be there in your future want you to see-me-when-you-look-back

Want to be around to see you glow, little cowboy shine like lighting through a crack

But you climbed back in that saddle for one more fatal ride

If I had-it-all-to- do it all again I'd lock in you in your room this time

Summer nights ain't never gonna feel right Dyin' all young, oh

Chorus x2

Well, I don't like anything I'm seein' I don't like anything at

all

And when I come across your memory It always turns my skin to

crawl

I know I should feel lucky, lucky I'm alive

One day your love bloomed like a flower that flower up and died

We pump so much shit into this river, the river flows into the sea

Every- -day I think about you, could you ever think of me? Oh

Chorus

If you were here, I'd pick you up I'd make you say you'd had enough

(He didn't even get to see the summer settin' Dyin' all young)

I'd pat your skin pull out your hair. Why'd you go along and leave me

here?

(He didn't even get to see the summer settin' Dyin' all young)

Dyin' all young

(He-he didn't, he didn't, he didn't, he didn't)

Gonna meet your maker Dyin' all young

(He didn't even get to see the summer)

Chorus x2
