Back in the country, living on the double e

In the sunshine of her life

There's already a young fellow but mom

and daddy won't let her leave

Mom and poppa won't let her go

But when they go out dancin'

She breaks out on her own

She's hot enough to burn the house down

But mom and poppa don't know

When edith and earl renamed the double e

They nearly made history

The locals rose up, some of them were mad as hell

Cause it used to be the double l

Change comes slow in the country

When you're new there's a lot of distrust

Years fly by uneventful

Memories turn to dust

Meanwhile granny has got her bright colors on

And the sun's shinin' in her eyes

Cruisin' by the bars and honky-tonks where she met grandpa

And caught that young man's eye

Dusty white el dorado

Cruisin' through the trees

Slippin' through the shadows

Of what used to be

Back in the days, living in the summer of love

Living in the summer of love

Grandma's okay, not the same since grandpa's gone

She's living in the summer of love

Back in the days, living in the summer of love

Living in the summer of love

Living in the summer of love

Living in the summer of love

Back in the days, living in the summer of love
