Lake Geneva Songtext
von Jon Troast

Take a little ride with me
Down to my home town (I want to show you)
A little summer place where ladies buy new shoes
So they can dance with dance with boys
Who come in from the city (To these small town streets)
Buy themselves an ice cream cone and walk down to the beach

But it′s a summer love and it won't last long
′Cause they're running out of time
That's why I want a home town girl
′Cause she′ll always be mine

Waiting for it all year long (For what?)
Those summers at the lake house (It always feels so right)
Living in their bathing suits and going out at night
And the cars go round and round and round
Just looking for some action
And all the local boys wait for the girls from Illinois


But it's a summer love and it won′t last long
'Cause they′re running out of time
That's why I want a home town girl
′Cause she'll always be mine

Every time the summer ends this place feels like a ghost town
No one on the park benches, the stores are all closed down
Everybody's waiting for the summer sun to shine
I′m waiting on a call from you, we′re going out tonight
It's a summer love and it won′t last long
She'll be gone before it snows
That′s why I want a home town girl
'Cause she′ll never have to go
No, it wouldn't last long
See, they're running out of time
That′s why I want a home town girl
′Cause she'll always be mine
She′ll always be mine
She'll always be mine
She′ll always be mine
