Summer Kitchen Ballad

Sat in the kitchen with an asthma cigarette

Out the window with an inch of regret

It's a gray world

Sold all the gear that he had in the shed

Gave him a hard time, so he up and quit

It's a gray world

And the old van is tired and slow

Wouldn't go

Down at the quarry to have a swim

I took off my shirt but you won't go in

It's a gray world

Later at the fire with a marshmallow stick

You were embarrassed because she was so thin

It's a gray world

And the old van is tired and slow

Wouldn't go, wouldn't go, wouldn't go, wouldn't go
