Jennie the summer's almost over
There's something I've been trying to say
For so long
But I haven't found a way
I know you'll be going back to college
I'll be just a summer memory
A townie boy
To you is all I'll ever be
But before you go
There's something I want you to know
[chorus]
I know where I belong
I'm OK with who I am
I'll probably spend my life
Making a living with my hands
I will look back on your memory
With sorrow and with joy
But I will always cherish
The summer that I was your townie boy
Jennie you don't have to say it
We both know it isn't true
And I'm the one
Who should be saying I love you
You've given me a little piece of knowing
Something I never thought I'd see
The world outside
This place and this person I must be
You can't stay I know
Kiss me softly one more time before you go
[rpt chorus]
The summer people come and call us townies
They buy trinkets from us to prove they were here
Jennie you are leaving more than memories
Taking from me more than a souvenir.
[rpt chorus]
