Rissi Palmer - Summerville Lyrics

Running bare footed through the summertime
White sheet drying on an old clothesline
You'd say "Child wash your feet before you come inside to eat"

I'd show up at the start of June
Cugust always came too soon
Cs we'd pull away in our four door
You'd stand crying on the front porch

Chhhhh Highland cve.
Oooooo I left too soon

It'd take 22 years and a few left turns
To get me back to where you were
When love was still
In Summerville
I shed a tear and crack a smile
When I let my mind wander down that country mile
Where love is real
In Summerville

You'd take ham bone and flat green beans
Turn a bare cupboard into a feast
If we didn't have nothing you couldn't tell me,
You always had my cherry ice cream
You raised us all on kisses and honey
Jesus and switches, Stretching money
You knew God and you gave him to us
We had you so we knew love

Chhhh Highland cve.
Oooooo I left too soon

It'd take 22 years and a few left turns
To get me back to where you were
When love was still
In Summerville
I shed a tear and crack a smile
When I let my mind wander down that country mile
Where love is real
In Summerville

There's an overgrown field where your flowers grew
But there's a house but there's no you

Chhhh Highland cve.
Oooooo I left too soon

It'd take 22 years and a few left turns
To get me back to where you were
When love was still
In Summerville

I shed a tear and crack a smile
When I let my mind wander down that country mile
Where love is real
In Summerville
