Summer nights by the old marina in a seaside town south of Mendocino
We were college bound kids getting all untied we'd sleep all day
And be up all night spent our time
Numbin' our minds on nirvana and fireball
Ain't it funny how time flies and
Those nights get harder and harder to recall
Oh I miss, I miss sweet Monterey fast boats and hot lazy days
You up on my shoulders with the fireworks raining down
We couldn't wait to get out of there
But now I know what I had back there
In Monterey
Police lights flashin on the girls of summer,
Dumping beer on a beach man what a bummer
We were Frat house camping, we were beer bong kings,
Didn't have twenty dollars but we had everything
Football by truck light,
Guitars and fist fights, talking round fires till dawn
Smell of sunrise coffee and holdin' sweet Maggie
As she nodded off in my arms
Oh I miss, I miss sweet Monterey fast boats and hot lazy days
You up on my shoulders with the fireworks raining down
We couldn't wait to get out of there
And now I know what I had back there
In Monterey
Oh I miss, I miss sweet Monterey fast boats and hot lazy days
You up on my shoulders with the fireworks raining down
We couldn't wait to get out of there
And now I know what I had back there
In Monterey
