That Summer Songtext
von Garth Brooks

That Summer Songtext

I went to work for her that summer
A teenage kid so far from home
She was a lonely widow woman
Hell-bent to make it on her own
We were a thousand miles from nowhere
Wheat fields as far as I could see
Both needin′ somethin' from each other
Not knowin′ yet what that might be

'Til she came to me one evenin'
Hot cup of coffee and a smile
In a dress that I was certain she hadn′t worn in quite a while
There was a difference in her laughter
There was a softness in her eyes
And on the air, there was a hunger even a boy could recognize


She had a need to feel the thunder
To chase the lightnin′ from the sky
To watch a storm with all its wonder
Ragin' in her lover′s eyes
She had to ride the heat of passion
Like a comet burnin' bright
Rushin′ headlong in the wind
Out where only dreams have been burnin' both ends of the night

That summer wind was all around me
Nothin′ between us but the night
And when I told her that I'd never
She softly whispered that's alright
And then I watched her hands of leather
Turn to velvet in a touch
There′s never been another summer when I have ever learned so much

She had a need to feel the thunder
To chase the lightnin′ from the sky
To watch a storm with all its wonder
Ragin' in her lover′s eyes
She had to ride the heat of passion
Like a comet burnin' bright
Rushin′ headlong in the wind
Out where only dreams have been
Burnin' both ends of the night


I often think about that summer
The sweat, the moonlight, and the lace
And I have rarely held another
When I haven′t seen her face
And every time I pass a wheat field
And watch it dancin' with the wind
Although I know it isn't real
I just can′t help but feel her hungry arms again

She had a need to feel the thunder
To chase the lightnin′ from the sky
To watch a storm with all its wonder
Ragin' in her lover′s eyes
She had to ride the heat of passion
Like a comet burnin' bright
Rushin′ headlong in the wind
Out where only dreams have been
Burnin' both ends of the night

Rushin′ headlong in the wind
Out where only dreams have been
Burnin' both ends of the night
