Track Name: That Night
Oh, I remember
the day my daddy died.
He took me by the hand,
but he didn't say goodbye.
No, he said, "Sometimes life is rough,
my boy, sometimes, life is hard."
And then he walked right out that door
with his gun and his guitar.
Oh, was it suicide or patricide?
No one ever told me which,
but I left that night for the coast
to wash away my sins.

'Cause In the summertime, I lose my mind.
Couldn't find my way home if I tried.
I took my daddy's Chevrolet,
'Cause, man, I wanted to get away,
And I tried, Oh Lord, that night.

That night, I felt so alone.
That night, I was a stranger on the road.
That night, I couldn't find my way back home if I tried.


I was 21 without a gun
that I could call my own.
I left my girl back home
when I took off for the road.
She said, "Boy, you gotta let me know
which way you wanna go."
I said, "Girl, I'll never tell you
'cause I know I'll never know,
but in the Summertime, I lose my mind.
Couldn't find my way home if I tried."
And I still got that Chevrolet,
so when I want to get away
I drive, just like, that night.
