G Am
Another summer wasted in the Battlefords
C G
on a banana seat bike with a hockey card in the spokes
G Am
a friend of ours who's stopped his car by said that "he better get home"
C G
he said "you're gonna get a beating. You're going to get the beating of your life"
Em D C
Nutrasweeth and Fresca and popshoppe
EM Am
and all the best of what a baby sitter could afford
Em C
with enough negotiotiaion and a freckled smile
G Am
Another summer wasted in the Battlefords
C
our dust coated freezie stained lips
G
and lawn darts in the yard
G
And the rickedst guy in town drives his new
Am
Lincoln drunk on the old dusty streets
C G
balancing a snifter of gin on the edge of his knee
Em D C
Rocky road, tiger tail and bubble gum and all the rest of them
Am Em C

G Bm
They say that wealth is revealed in the teeth
C
that's we're all wearing braces
G Am C
and dirty fingernails that a good akela wouldn't approve of
G Bm
Not another broken arm in the heat
C
he fell bringing pop and chips home one handed
G
we weren't invincible
Am C
and the sensei said "he'll sit out the summer"
G Am
Another summer wasted in the Battlefords
C
Dad shakes his head at the car that's been
G
sitting on blocks for years
G
and the weird kid who smoked two cigarettes playing bingo
Am
then his Mom came to the rescue
C
she stood up and chided everyone with her finger outstretched
G
saying "you're not the boss of him"
Em D C
Ring pops, banana runts, popeye cigarettes
Am
and everything that's best that a baby sitter could afford
Em C
with the right negotiation and a freckled smile
