Verse 1:
She's been afraid of the Cuisinart
Since nine-teen seventy-seven
Now when she opens up the house
Well she won't set foot in the kitchen
Her brother's dating an architect
They're coming up for the weekend
He never gave her the proper respect
But she still meets the ferry to greet them
Chorus:
Oh, at the summer place, we got the space
if you've got the time
At the summer place, its so far away
It's another state of...
Am F C E7 Am F C E7 (repeat intro riff over chorus) F, G
Miiind, Miiind, Miiind, Miiind
Verse 2:
She ran away back in seventy eight
Just down the beach to the neighbor's
They brought her back after sunset
Her Dad said "Don't do me any favors"
Her Mom sat on the patio
She said she needed the sea air
She drank a fifth of Seagram's
And then she'd sink down into her deck chair
Chorus 2:
Oh, at the summer place, we got the space
if you've got the time
At the summer place, its so far away
It's another state of...
Am F C E7 Am F C E7 (repeat intro riff over chorus) F, G
Miiind, Miiind, Miiind, Miiind
Bridge:
At fifteen, shop-lifting
Was the only game she liked to play
At forty, she's so bored she
Thinks about it then decides to play
But still she can't help feeling
Those good old days don't seem so far away
(seem so far away) Just like yesterday
Verse 3:
She took a handful of mushrooms
That she got from a surfer
She spent a night in a hospital room
So the doctors could observe her
Chorus 3:
Oh, at the summer place, We've got the space, you should drop on by
Oh, at the summer place
the injuries fade but the memories last a life
Tiiiime
A lifetiiiime
A lifetiiiime
A lifetiiiime
Outro:
F, G, (pause) A
