i’m sittin’ here with my hair tied back

a careless smile across my face

poking my finger through a hole in my jeans

it’s plain to see they’re a hopeless case

kickin’ back with a good book

branches shade me from the sun

fall asleep under the trees

summer daze has just begun

there’s nothin’ on earth like sleeping in late

and waking up to silence

thinkin’ about the coming day

guess it’s true that we’re only young once

snapping my gum as loud as i want

’cause there’s no one here to complain

i won’t be bothered by pointless tasks

today something’s got to keep me sane

it’s a kind of vibe that’s in the air

a shimmer of suggestion everywhere

tellin’ me to stop moving and take life slow

after all, i’ve still got a ways to go

so let’s think of nothing but the smell of bacon

and the next two months of summer vacation
