E Street Shuffle/Summer (the First Time)/Leader of the Pack Lyrics

It's ninety-three degrees
And the radio says a storm front's movin' in
Sure is hot
There's a double feature down at the Fox
But everybody's seen it twice
And, besides, the air conditioner's broke

The old lady who runs the ice cream store
Got robbed last week
She put a lock on the door
And a bell on the lock
Now she don't answer the door
'cause she takes that good long look at you
And you look too tough

The air is hot and heavy and wet
And you just can't get high
That's when sparks fly on E Street
And the little girls walking lookin' so hot
And the little boys' souls grow weak
When the girls give them a double shot

School boy pops pull out the stops on a Friday night
And those teenage tramps in skin-tight pants
Do the E Street dance
But in their heart and soul they know it's all right

Just like those kids down there
Ooh, hooked up in a scuffle
Dressed in snake skin suits;
Packed with Detroit muscle;
Doin' the E Street shuffle
Ooh, the shuffle
Doin' the E Street shuffle
Ooh, the shuffle

It was a hot afternoon
The last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid
One ten in the shade
And the pavement was steamin'

I told Billy Ray
In his red chevrolet
I needed time for some thinkin'
He was just passing by
When I caught that boy's eye
And I swore it was winkin'

I was thirty-one
He was seventeen
He knew nothing about love
I knew everything
But he sat right down
On the front porch swing
And I wondered what the
Coming night would bring

Sun closed my eyes
Climbed to the skies
It was starting to swelter
The sweat trickled down
The front of my gown
I thought it would melt me

I threw back my hair
Like he wasn't there
And I sipped, oooh, something coolin'
My shoulders bare
He tried not to stare
Whoa, but I knew I wasn't foolin'

I looked deep into those eyes of blue
I said, "Boy, I know you're young
Don't know what to say or do
But stay with me 'til the sun goes away
And I will chase the boy in you away!"

Guess you know why
That kid caught my eyes
Oooh, and why the memory still lingers
Go back in my mind to the very first time
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I felt the touch of somebody's fingers
I go back in my mind to the very first time
Oh, I felt the touch of somebody's fingers
And go, I go back in my mind
To the very first time I felt...

I go back in my mind to the very first time
I felt the touch of somebody's fingers
The first time
The first time
