© There was a time not long ago when kids were kids and summers were slow city folk would pick up and go to a sleepy little town farm houses and railroad tracks bungalows and share cropper shacks corn fields out in the back, over looking a peaceful bay sleepy town sleepy town people watch the sun go down they got angels keepin an eye on dreamers in a sleepy town the tide goes out and the tide comes in no one has to know where you been just leave on the porch light tonight I'm going to sleepy town I dug a hole and I climbed a tree saw what the worms n the seagulls see took a walk down to the beach, honeysuckle in the air met a girl and we skipped some stones did some fishing with a bamboo pole and everybody's radio was playing the same song sleepy town where'd you go people smile and say hello people that you don't even know, walking down a country road and in the evening its so dark without the moonlight you wont get far laid in the grass and counted the stars that fell over sleepy town distant thunder from across the bay we were too young to know that it would come over way the men of the town on the Fourth of July went to the firehouse to dance with their wives summer people carnival ride ring a bell and win a prize she took my hand and won a prize she took my hand and I walked her home sat on a rock by the side of the road she got closer, said she was cold I would have kissed her but she kissed me sleepy town way back when a sandy path to childhood end sometimes I go back again I dream about the summer time no heaven aint hard to find I've got it in my minds eye Just leave on the back porch light tonight we go to sleepy town sleepy town sleepy town people watch the sun go down they got angels keepin an eye on dreamers in a sleepy town
