Days of Summer Long Ago
When the days of summer seemed so long
And the dirt road was my path
I'd find pop bottles by the side of the road
Thrown from cars as they roared past
I'd collect the bottles of many shapes and sizes
Then to the grocery store I'd go
The cashier would always smile at me
When I brought in the load
Three cents apiece I got back then
And candy I might buy
Or maybe a pack of baseball cards
With bubble gum inside
It seems now not so long ago
Those childhood days gone past
When the days of summer seemed so long
And a dirt road was my path
