Miiind, Miiind, Miiind, Miiind (repeat intro riff over chorus) 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 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... Miiind, Miiind, Miiind, Miiind (repeat intro riff over chorus) 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 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:
