I was hoping you’d still remember

End of summer, chill of September

Waking up next to you in the morning

Autumn came early gave us now warning

Lost my job, no money in my pockets

You pawned your ring, five bucks is all it got us

Singing on the streets for tips and change

Playing Free Bird on only five strings

Top Ramen breakfast, lunch and dinner

Decided to go south for the winter

Called home to borrow some cash

Sent it on all cheap wine and a little bit of grass

We needed nothing to believe in

All we owned was our freedom

All we had was one another

Should’ve followed that summer sun for forever

I can still see you standing by the ocean

Smell of the sea and suntan lotion

We watched the sun fall into the sea

Sky turned golden over you and me

Everyday felt like a weekend

We had no plans so we’d always sleep in

Friends said grow up before it’s to late

Get yourself a mortgage and a job you hate

Went surfing, drank ourselves some beer

Caught dinner off the end of the pier

We cooked it up on a big bonfire

Sang Beatle songs and got a little higher

We needed nothing to believe in

All we owned was our freedom

All we had was one another

Should’ve followed that summer sun for forever
