The Bacon Brothers - Summer of Love (Woodstock '99) lyrics

Written by Kevin Bacon

"Written from the perspective of a young man attending Woodstock '99." KB

Me and Joey came a long way, to hear that singer

Play the one that we know so well

He got up there and gave us the finger

Told me and Joey to go straight to hell

Me and Joey in a blacktop garden

A big old burnin' sun above

And the fires will soon be starting

But this ain't no summer of love

Me and Joey had a good time with some farmer's daughter

Left her lyin' in a muddy hole

You charge an arm and a leg for a bottle of water

Well hey, I guess that's rock and roll

Me and Joey in a blacktop garden

A big old burnin' sun above

And the fires will soon be starting

But this ain't no summer of love

Now me and Joey's in his dad's car, overheating

Two hundred miles I-95

Joey's dad gives him a hell of a beatin'

Says we was lucky just to be alive

Someone's knockin' on the back door, momma's crying

And my head is hurtin' mighty bad

Tell you old man, and I ain't lyin

Best damn time I ever had

Me and Joey in a blacktop garden

A big old burnin' sun above

And the fires will soon be starting

But this ain't no summer of love
