Bright Summer’s Day ’68

On a bright summer's day, in the middle of May
With the sun shining down, my baby left town
My brother broke jail

Then my Daddy shot Mom, so I've written this song
Just to tell all you folks out there cracking them jokes
How I felt all along

Oh, you came along, oh, you've heard my song
Oh, you've got me wrong. (You never told me it'd be like this!)
Oh, you came along, oh, you found this song
Oh, you've got me wrong. (I can't stop thinking about that bright summers day!)

On a bright summer's day, in the middle of May
With the sun shining down, my baby left town
My brother broke jail

Oh, you came along, oh, you've heard this song
Oh, you've got me wrong. (And I never wanted it to be like this!)
Oh, you came along, oh, you found this song
Oh, you've got me wrong. (Now wait 'till I tell my Daddy about you!)

On a bright summer's day, in the middle of May
With the sun shining down, my baby left town
My brother broke jail
