Days get longer
And the nights get hotter
Summer comes and turns our heads around
Girls get a little prettier
And the boys get wilder
They catch the fever and it takes em on down
She was workin at the local market
And I was singing in the local band
She kept my picture in a silver locket
And I would shiver when she held my hand
I remember those July nights
The way her hair shone in the moonlight
Said come on baby don't you wanna go
Where every boy and girl must go
Down mustang Road
September found her on her way to college
And I was on my way to rule the world
Still I can't let go of all the knowledge
That old road taught to me ant that sweet girl
Summer night beside the high school track
Teenage passion in my Pontiac
Feels like the first time on the radio
The night my baby shared her soul
Down mustang Road
Sometimes I think about those days and wonder
What she's doin now the years have passed
Something about that night will always haunt me
Guess its the memories that last and last
Summer comes and turns our heads around
We catch the fever and it takes us on down
Walk a mile to where the tall trees go
Where every boy and girl must go
Down mustang Road
