Summer seemed to last all year
When I was just a kid
Upon my bike
I’d ride down by the river
It was fireflies, and fishing poles
I remember still
No thoughts of school
We off in September
Down in dusty road cross the rail roads tracks
Stood McQuarrie’s 5-9
I wasn’t supposed to ride that far
But I did it all the time
I’d lay my red bike on the sidewalk
Outside McQuarrie’s door
With a quarter in my pocket
To search for treasure
As the row of stools and the pop machine
I headed for the aisle
For crackеr jacks
That morning I first saw her
She was down the aislе, by the candy rack
I stood frozen in my place
She was sweeter than a Hershey’s kiss
And the rest is still a haze
It was a dime store love, but was so real to me
And the brightest blue eyes I had ever seen
{?} with a pretty blond hair
That dime store love
In the middle of nowhere
She went to a different school
And I never caught her name
Though I asked around
It seemed nobody knew her
So when I go back to visit
Old friends and family
I wander across those tracks
Into my memory
It’s all {?} now, they’ve torn McQuarrie’s down
Like my youth their history
As I drive away another summer is gone
But not those sweet memories
Of that dime store love that was so real to me
And the brightest blue eyes I had ever seen
{?} with a pretty blond hair
That dime store love
In the middle of nowhere
It was a dime store love
In the middle of nowhere
