Biography:
Growing up in a small southeastern Missouri town, David Nail might’ve chosen to follow any of the dreams that drifted by like the riverboats on the mighty Mississippi: but in the end, it was music that called his name. “I was definitely more into sports growing up,” says the Midwest native, “I think I was expected to play in college, but as I grew older I became more interested in music. After my senior year, I had a few small college offers to play baseball.

Summer Job Days
Capo 2
Am F C G
Am F
Well I was the only one down in Kiva Duns,
C G
That didn’t drive a car that wasn't cool enough.
Am F
Just a baby blue parking-lot gremlin, not exactly a magnet for the women,
C G
Until I hung that surfboard out the back.
Am F
For tips I caddied at the local course,
C G
At night I mixed boat drinks down on the Warf.
Am F
Flirting with the college girls getting my bare feet wet out in the world.
C G
Fell in love a hundred times.
-Chorus-
C G
Time was mine and life was easy, just like those ocean breezes.
Am F
Carrying off the afternoon wasn't long underneath the moon we had.
C G
A beach fire and a pile of wet clothes, laid back watching her skin glow.
Am F G
I gotta smile when I think about those tan bod bikini top so hot summer job
Am F C G
days.
Am F
The end of August came and the crowds went home,
C G
The beaches deserted and the girls were gone.
Am F
Yeah I waved goodbye to the time and place and that two-lane back to the interstate.
C G
When I look back I still look back when.
-Chorus-
C G
Time was mine and life was easy, just like those ocean breezes.
Am F
Carrying off the afternoon wasn’t long underneath the moon we had.
C G
A beach fire and a pile of wet clothes, laid back watching her skin glow.
Am F G
I gotta smile when I think about those tan bod bikini top so hot summer job
C G Am F (solo)
days.
Repeat chorus, C G Am F End with Am F C G (2x)
