Back in the country Livin' on the double e In the sunshine of her life There's a ready young filly And mom and daddy Won't let her leave Mom and papa won't let her go
But when they go out dancin' She breaks out on her own She's hot enough to Burn the house down And mom and daddy don't know
When edith and earl Renamed the double e They nearly made history The neighbors rose up And some of them were mad as hell 'cause it used to be the double L
Change comes slow in the country When you're new There's a lot of distrust Years pass by uneventful, And memories turn to dust
Meanwhile granny Has got her bright colors on The sunshine in her eyes Cruisin' by the bars And honky tonks where she met grandpa And caught that young man's eye
Dusty white eldorado Cruisin' through the trees Slippin' through the shadows Of what used to be
Back in the day Livin' in the summer of love Livin' in the summer of love
Grandma's ok But not the same since grandpa's gone She's livin' in the summer of love
Back in the day Livin' in the summer of love Livin' in the summer of love
