The summer sun was burning bright I was coming off a couple hard weeks I had money in my pocket to spend A sun burn on my cheeks In the bottom cupboard and on the highest shelf I looked for a promise that might bring the heat To set this little heart on fire And bring these wandering eyes relief I know this is true A green eyed girl who had mined gold from dreams On a rusted bike with a chain that squeaked All I stole was just one look I guess sometimes that's all it takes. She had a smile that she couldn't shake A dirty mouth and a pink bikini It didn't matter what she wore that day I had to know what was underneath I know this is true With the gossip of the gravel roads We swam out to where the water got cold I felt my heart start to come around There was nowhere left to go All the winds are blowing north All the rivers are running dry Now the road only takes me back To the Queen of July I know this is true
