lyrics

Two kids laying on their backs in the tall green grass
Just before supper
Young lovers put wagers on spinning bottles of glass
Making eyes at each other
Guy down at the bar with his car filled up with gas asks
"Can I have another?"
And there's a hotcha girl in the parking lot shaking her ass
Leaving me to wonder

There was a love song come on the radio
She was the Juliet to his Romeo
Sky lay out like a white clouded canvas
He sang with a voice sound just like Elvis
For just one savage American summer
They swore to each other... blood brothers

Kid kickin' a can walking down the street just like he did
When he was younger
Boy and a girl take turns undressing after they first meet
Then crawl under the covers
And the night brings on the heat after the lightning streaks
And the sky crashes with thunder
And I'm looking at her the way she's looking back at me
But she don't know the spell I'm under

There was a love song come on the radio
She was the Juliet to his Romeo
Sky lay out like a white clouded canvas
He kissed her with a voice sound just like Elvis
For just one savage American summer
They swore to each other... blood brothers
