Got a phone call
Some friends were in town
Time to build a fence and pull some weeds
Loaded up my car
Tools and with gloves
The sunlight piercin' in, in the east
Mixed some cement
Dug some holes for posts
While eyes proned the orchard
Made a lunch to eat

When my summer ends
I dream of that wooden fence
And I watch me and my friends
Just jump and fall asleep

City's like a breath
More like a guess
It always leaves a part of me empty
Never enough
Broken glass and rust
The streetlights divide the sidewalks so evenly
But I got some friends
Play in a band
The city bars make roll 'n' roll taste so sweet

When my summer ends
I dream of that wooden fence
And I watch me and my friends
Just jump and fall asleep

Stars are all out
I lie wide awake
It's too hot to fall asleep in these tired sheets
I think of that fence
Microphones and sandwhichs
I thank the Lord he gives us what we need
My body it aches
From shovels and from drinks
So dig a hole and bury me with sleep

When my summer ends
I dream of that wooden fence
And I watch me and my friends
Just jump and fall asleep
