Minnesota Summer (Rough Cut)
Music/Vocals by David Ebner, Lyrics by Keith Gilman Minnesota Summer
Verse 1
Needed a revolution
From where it all began
A speedy resolution
For the perfect tan.
Verse 2
If fair wage is what you’re paying
Hey, then I’m you’re man.
I’ll grab my Chevy and my six-string
And be there soon as I can.
Chorus
Give me a Minnesota summer
And I’ll be strummin’ till the fall.
Juicy Lucy in Duluth, yeah,
Hot dish in St. Paul.
Sunbathin’ by a lakeside -
Ten thousand of ‘em call.
Give me a Minnesota summer
And I’ll be strummin’ there
Until the fall.
Verse 3
Roll down the windows
Cruisin’ (highway) 35
Blastin’ Dylan and Lizzo
Morris Day and the Time.
Verse 4
Guided only by the North Star
Straight through June and July
Moose tracks and then a cold one.
And, man, it’s good to be alive!
Chorus
Give me a Minnesota summer
And I’ll be strummin’ till the fall.
Juicy Lucy in Duluth, yeah,
Hot dish in St. Paul.
Sunbathin’ by a lakeside -
Ten thousand of ‘em call.
Give me a Minnesota summer
And I’ll be strummin’ there
Until the fall.
Instrumental Bridge
Chorus
Give me a Minnesota summer
And I’ll be strummin’ till the fall.
Juicy Lucy in Duluth, yeah,
Hot dish in St. Paul.
Sunbathin’ by a lakeside -
Ten thousand of ‘em call.
Give me a Minnesota summer
And I’ll be strummin’ there
Until the fall.
Outro
One more Minnesota summer
And, maybe, I
Won’t leave at all.
