Summer Losers

They met on the Avenue
On a hot summer day in June
And when he looked her in the eyes
Her long hair pulled back in braids
Her heart like a monsoon wave
Started building from the inside

They're just
Summer losers walking hand in hand
They got
Stuck in Tucson without an escape plan
They're just
Summer losers on the 4th of July
Waiting for the monsoon
With their love to keep them dry
With their love to keep them dry
With their love to keep them dry

He'd been down on his luck so long
The accasias piped a mournful song
As he tried to find some shade in a circle K
He bought a lottery ticket and a soda drink
The cashier gave him a mean eyed stink
Never guessing it was finally his lucky day

He was just a
Summer loser with a winner in his hand
He got
Stuck in Tucson without a good plan
He's just a
Summer loser on the 4th of July
Waiting for the monsoon
With his luck to keep him dry
His luck'll keep him dry

Tom left his home in Idaho
To help the hippies build a totem pole
South of town in Tumacacori, AZ
He got stuck with a one-way plan
June hit him like a frying pan
But that's just when
His meditations set him free

He's just a
Summer loser with a shovel in his hand
He got
Stuck in Tucson without an escape plan
He's just a
Summer loser on the 4th of July
Waiting for the monsoon
With the spirit world to keep him high
The spirit world keeping him high
So high

We're just
Summer losers walking hand in hand
We got
Stuck again in Tucson without a good plan
We're just all
Summer losers on the 4th of July
Waiting for the monsoons
With the AC cranked up high
The AC's turned up high
The swamp cooler doesn't work
Dreaming of the ocean
Maybe California, Colorado
Anywhere but Tucson, Arizona
