Easy in the Summertime - Allison Moorer

July nineteen-eighty-one

Alabama summer sun

Sissy got her fishing pole

Went down to the honey hole

Greasy fiery frying pan

Viola grabbed it with her hand

It burned so bad her skin it peeled

There I saw the truth revealed

Watermelon tastes so good

Bare feet on the cool hardwood

Summer dresses Nanny made

Cut off blue jeans torn and frayed

Swinging on the barnyard gate

It don’t get dark till after eight

Run inside a kiss and hug

Wrapped up in my mama’s love

Firefly whispered in my ear

She said let’s get outta here

Fly down to the creek with me

There’s something you gotta see

The stars come out and glow so bright

That’s why I don’t mess with morning light

'Cause they’re the ones that soothe my soul

They make me wanna rock 'n roll

Easy in the summertime

Easy in the summertime

Easy in the summertime
