Midwest Summer 2022

Fortress made of wood and clay In the woods where us kids played Before we'd even ask your name We'd ask you to play our games And I stood upon that hill I watched the sun go down Cool breeze across my back I hear the crickets make their sound We slept under the stars We captured fire flies Grass clippings in my shoes Water in my eyes Chigger bites on my legs Poison ivy on my face And I've never been more miserable But my hearts never been more full Midwest summer has my heart She's had it from the very start And one day I will return To the greatest place on earth I moved down south Where the summer is year round But I'm leaving with a broken heart And endless summer is a farce Midwest summer came every year When winter came, she would dissapear Please tell her that I'm coming back Baby, baby, I'm coming back Midwest summer has my heart She's had it from the very start And one day I will return To the greatest place on earth Midwest summer has my heart She's had it from the very start And one day I will return To the greatest place on earth
