Story behind the song
The challenge for this contest was to write a 3 minute song that had the word summer in the title.
Lyrics
(DON'T TRUST THAT) SUMMERTIME SMILE When Becky met Jimmy She was 16 and goin' bad Jimmy was her ticket out Didn't know he was bein' had Becky took her Daddy's money Jimmy took the blame They hit the road like outlaws She loved that danger game Chorus Don't trust her summertime smile Don't think she's the love of your life Look past those curved lips and See that cold, cold heart of ice They hit town after town Becky lit up each bar She'd find a nice guy While Jimmy waited in the car She'd lure them out with a promise Pleasure in the night Sometimes they'd just take a wallet Sometimes she'd take a life Bridge But then one night she met Tommy And fell for his big brown eyes He offered a reckless forever She knew Jimmy had to die
