lyrics

we'll sneak down to the lake
shine flashlights on the ducks
dad, well he's six beers deep, I'm sure
he won't give a damn if we run off
its nearing dusk

thought the north woods would be quiet
but all i hear are loons
those evil looking bastards are persistent
with their summertime-ending tunes
and there's a strange blue moon

have you thought about where you'll go
when you graduate this spring
the house will sure feel empty
and i'll miss hearing you sing
oh, i'll be you
and you be me

i'll be starting high school
when we get back to detroit
i'll be back with all my friends for friday night games
and high school boys
the rest is noise

quit tugging at my hair
i'll tell ma if you don't stop
did you sneak yourself a beer
you lied and told me all you could get was a pop
goddamnit stop

we'll sneak down to the lake
shine flashlights on the ducks
dad, well he's six beers deep, I'm sure
he won't give a damn if we run off
its nearing dusk

and CUT
