SUMMER GIRL
© 2024 Lawrence J. Studnicky III

(Verse 1)
I met a summer girl with hair full of ocean curls
I knew she wouldn’t last me too long
She said if I took a chance, maybe we’d grab a dance
It might even last a whole song
She went to the ladies room, she didn’t come back soon,
I looked for her all over the bar
Ran outside to fetch her
I never did catch her
’cause she’d taken the keys to my car.

(Chorus)
Now it’s the end of the summer, it’s sure been a bummer
Why does it fade away far too soon
I’ve got those end of the summer I got poorer and dumber blues
Yes I’ve got those end of the summer I got poorer and dumber blues

(Verse 2)
I flew to paradise, they said there was never ice
The moment that I landed it snowed
My room with a water view looked over a small cesspool
So I thought, I’d better pack up and go
That girl with the golden hair was up in the penthouse there
So I booked more days at double the rate

I took her out to dinner, I thought I would win her,
’til she asked me how much would I pay.

(Chorus)
Now it’s the end of the summer, it’s sure been a bummer
Why does it fade away far too soon
I’ve got those end of the summer I got poorer and dumber blues
Yes I’ve got those end of the summer I got poorer and dumber blues

(Bridge)
She never really looked me in the eye
She never even called me by name
I guess I was just another really dumb guy
Too thrilled to be a pawn in her game

(Verse 3)
She called me up next June, said “Can I see you soon,
Will you fly me to Hawaii today?”
I ran for the airport gate, figured she’s running late
’til I saw her in the line with a date
She was with some old Wall Street guy, he looked me straight in the eye
Said “Sonny, this gal’s out of your class”
I yelled, she’s got your number, you’re like me only dumber,
And in a week you’ll be begging for cash

(Chorus)
Now it’s the end of the summer, it’s sure been a bummer
Why does it fade away far too soon
I’ve got those end of the summer I got poorer and dumber blues
Yes I’ve got those end of the summer I got poorer and dumber blues

(Fade-out)
Oh I met a summer girl
Yeah I met a summer girl
Oh I met a summer girl with hair full of ocean curls

About the “Summer Girl (Redux)” Music Video

With “Summer Girl (Redux),” The High Plains Drifters continue the exciting direction, glamorous visuals, and high production values that viewers have come to expect, this time with themes from James Bond to Jimmy Buffett but with a more meaningful twist. The video acts as a fantasized reflection of a middle aged man looking back on his life through past love and relationships that ultimately led him to something he didn't know he still had - hope. The video recalls our main characters' past in a daydream, paradise like way. Each woman throughout the video plays a crucial role in our main character's story. From the femme fatale at the beginning who first broke the man, to the ones that were just bad ideas, or the ex-wife that takes more than half of everything, to eventually lead to the woman who takes him as he is, with nothing left but hope to give and try again. The singer leaves audiences wondering: Can paradise be found in a lover who wants something from him besides fancy cars, exotic trips, and easy cash? The High Plains Drifters let the viewer decide in this catchy and visually wowing video that perfectly captures a bummer of a summer, with a laugh.
