  • Lil' Debbies from the corner store caught bruises at Hillside
    Drinking that fruit punch on a Saturday
    Brandon dancing on the front porch, his big brother was George
    He'd always borrow my tapes and lose them thangs
    Goin' down to the community center
    Rock, paper, scissors
    'Cause you know the winner would be the first to play
    Nintendo 64

    In the summertime on the south side
    It's alright
    In the summertime on the south side
    It's just fine
    In Panther City
    In Panther City, yes

    All the crackheads and prostitutes on Rosedale
    My father said go straight home
    Or I'd catch hell
    Don't walk around them streets at night
    There was a girl, she lived on Pinky Street, her name was Jaime
    I used to drive by her house every day
    That was my first taste of love

    In the summertime on the south side
    It's alright
    In the summertime on the south side
    It's just fine
    In Panther City
    In Panther City, yeah

    The other night, I rolled down Cannon
    To remind myself and feel something
    To remind myself and feel something

    In the summertime on the south side
    It's alright
    In the summertime, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes
    In the summertime on the south side
    It's alright
    In the summertime on the south side
    (It's alright)
    In the summertime
    Sometimes I go back there in my mind

    It's alright
    It's alright
    It's alright
    Whoa-oh, sometimes I just wanna feel, yeah Writer/s: Todd Michael Bridges
