Almost September Songtext
von Trout Fishing in America

Moonlight shines on the water
I can see it from the beach house deck
Cool breeze coming off of the Gulf of Mexico
Aloe vera for my sunburned back
Walked on the beach in the brown sugar sand
Felt like walking in an hourglass
Seashells, sand dollars, pick up memories as the good times pass
It′s almost September. There's a change in the wind
It′s almost September.
Never gonna be this way again. No, no
Salt spray in the hot afternoon
Mullet jump in Galveston Bay
Feel the waves, the heart of the ocean
It'd be so easy to get carried away
On a towel eating sandy sandwiches watching the beach parades
Old men with beer-bellies and faded tattoos
Young girls behind those dark, dark shades It's almost September. You can feel it in the wind
It′s almost September
Never gonna be like that again. No, no
Seagulls dive into diamonds
Oil rigs decked out like Christmas tree
A man ′o war cuts like a sail through the surf
Baby oil gets the tar from the bottom of my feet
The sun posed for a final postcard
Lit a campfire and sang some songs
Hot dogs and cold ice cream might
Just be perfect but it don't last long
It′s almost September. There's a change in the wind
It′s almost September
Will it ever be like that again? No, no
Will it ever be like that again? No, no
Will it ever be like that again? No, no
