It was a A/F# hot afternoon,
the E last day of June,
and theB7 sun was a demon.
The A/F# clouds were afraid,
one E ten in the shade,
and the B7 pavement was steamin'
I A/F# told Billy Ray
in his red Chevro-E let,
I needed time for some B7 thinkin'.
I was A/F# just walking by
when I E looked in her eye,
and I swore it was B7 winkin'.
D She was thirty-one, and I wasBm seventeen,
C#m I knew nothing about love, she knew F#m everything.
ButD I sat down beside her on that Bm front porch swing,
and C#7 wondered what the coming night would F#m bring.

The A/F# sun closed her eyes
as it E climbed in the skies,
and it B7 started to swelter.
The A/F# sweat trickled down
the E front of her gown,
I B7 thought it would melt her.
SheA/F# threw back her hair
like E I wasn't there,
she B7 sipped on a Julep.
Her A/F# shoulders were bare,
and I E tried not to stare,
when I B7 looked at her two lips.
And D when she looked at me, I heard her Bm softly say,
'I C#m7 know you're young, you don't know whatF#m to do or say.
But D stay with me until the sun has Bm gone away,
and C#7 I will chase the boy in you a-F#m way.

And then she smiled, then we talked for a while,
and we C#m7 walked for a mile to the F# sea.
F#m/D D/B
We sat on the sand, and the boy took her hand,
but he C#m7 saw the sun rise as a F# man.

Ten A/F# years have gone by
since IE looked in her eyes,
but theB7 memory lingers.
I go A/F# back in my mind
to the E very first time,
feel theB7 touch of her fingers.
It was a A/F# hot afternoon,
theE last day of June,
and the B7 sun was a demon...
