Summer of 76 (Sunset)

i was young and green nearly seventeen rolling high smoking weed i was dreaming dreams days went on and on i tried to write my songs learned some chords kissed some girls i was feeling strong take me back to the summer of 76 that summer the summer of 76 but then the door slammed on all my big plans next thing i know i'm in the smoke working for the man starry eyed but i was locked inside no more dancing saying goodbye to my paradise take me back to the summer of 76 that summer the summer of 76 i guess we had our fun smoking in the sun dreaming on until september had to come along what happened to michelle and jeannie too? by the river we were living but we never knew take me back to the summer of 76 that summer the summer of 76
