Back home, down home - and got those tailgate blues It's summertime-it's temperature and rapture too When the kid's games are kicked - it ain't so cool to care And the flowers get picked for none other than Smokey the Bear We got ragtime music - we got the uptown tunes We're out in the suburbs - and we got the greenhouse blues
Barrel over them bridges you wander - and you roam Down arroyos and ridges - just tryin' to find the road back home Now it's low ride time-we're payin the roadhouse dues Back to downtown tunes - and singin' those dark-bar blues We got ragtime music - we got the uptown tunes We're back in the suburbs-and we got the greenhouse blues
Back home, down home - and got those tailgate blues It's summertime - we got temperature and rapture too Back to down-town tunes and singin those dark -bar blues Cover record dues, race dues and tastin' the blues We got ragtime music - we got the uptown tunes We're back in the suburbs - and w6 got the Greenhouse Blues...
