Lazy Summers (Burnt Bridge Creek) Words & Music: Patti Lightstone

Lazy summers on Burnt Bridge creek
Where the days were as long as a winter week
And we had fun, ridin? our bikes and runnin? free
Lazy summers on Burnt Bridge creek
Where the neighbor kids played hide and seek
And kick the can, until dark and we couldn?t see

We?d slide down cardboard hill
Near the berry vines where the air was still
with the noon day sun ablaze
Head over Brookside knoll
Dam up the creek for a swimmin? hole
then splash and play all day,

Lazy summers on Burnt Bridge Creek
when the sprinkler hose would spring a leak
And we ran through,
makin? puddles and dodgin? bees,
Lazy summers on Burnt Bridge Creek
with sunburned backs and suntanned cheeks
And skinned up knees,
buildin? forts and climbin? trees

And all us kids at Brookside,
from up the hill and down
Played away, while youth was at its peak,
And what I wouldn?t give, if I could just relive
One lazy summer day on Burnt Bridge Creek.

(Instrumental break)

We?d slide down cardboard hill
Near the berry vines where the air was still
with the noon day sun ablaze
Head over Brookside knoll
Dam up the creek for a swimmin? hole
then splash and play all day,

Lazy summers on Burnt Bridge Creek?
Lazy summers on Burnt Bridge Creek?

And all us kids at Brookside,
from up the hill and down
Played away, while youth was at its peak
And what I wouldn?t give, if I could just relive -
the thrill of cardboard hill -
the cool ol? swimmin? hole,
the jump rope, n? the hopscotch,
kick the can, n? hide n? seek
Just one more lazy summer day ?
on Burnt Bridge Creek.

Lazy summers on Burnt Bridge Creek
All ee all ee all in free
Lazy summers
