    • Verse 1
    It's 
    a hundred 
    degrees 

    on 
    Union 
    today 

    I'm in 
    the 
    passing 
    lane, 
    passing 
    away 

    Cause 
    the 
    AC 
    is holding 

    some 
    kind 
    of 
    grudge 

    The 
    sunroof is stubborn 

    The windows 
    won't 
    budge 

    But 
    it don't 
    really 
    matter 
    if 
    the 

    windows 
    won't roll 

    You can't 
    find 
    a breeze 

    to save 
    your damn 
    soul 

    And 
    all 
    this 
    heat 
    must 
    be 
    taking 
    its 
    toll 

    Cause 
    I swear 
    oto 
    God 
    I 
    just 
    saw 
    you 

    Stand
    ing alone 
    by 
    the Dixie 
    Freeze 

    In 
    your 
    white 
    cotton 
    dress, 

    scrapped 
    up 
    knees 

    And 
    I 
    will 
    be 
    damned 
    if 

    that isn't 
    a 
    breeze 

    Stirring 
    your 
    butterscotch 
    hair 

    But 
    I re
    member 
    that 
    summer 

    and that 
    goddam
    n 
    lake 

    I saw 
    your 
    casket, 
    I stood 
    at 
    the wake 

    And 
    heard 
    the soft 
    sounds 
    only 

    a 
    mother 
    can 
    make 

    As she 
    stroked 
    that 
    white 

    cotton 
    dress 

    Verse 2
    Sweet 
    Janine 

    What could 
    all 
    of this 
    mean 

    Is it 
    just 
    a dream 

    Or 
    am 
    I 
    wak
    ing? 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    Well 
    it 
    can't 
    be 
    a dream, 

    hell it 
    all 
    feels 
    too 
    real 

    My 
    foot 
    on 
    this 
    brake, 

    my hands 
    on 
    this 
    wheel 

    But 
    you're wav
    ing 
    me 
    over 
    I 
    can't 

    help 
    but 
    feel 
    that I'm 

    Stepping 
    away 
    from 
    my 
    mind 

    So 
    I park 
    my 
    car 
    right 
    there 
    in 
    the 
    street 

    I 
    walk 
    through 
    the traffic, 

    can't feel 
    my 
    feet 

    For
    get 
    all 
    about 
    the 
    after
    noon 
    heat 

    Now 
    I'm 
    just 
    burning 
    with 
    ques
    tions 

    Verse 4
    Sweet 
    Janine 

    What could 
    all 
    of this 
    mean 

    Is it 
    just 
    a dream 

    Or 
    am 
    I 
    waking? 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 5
    I sit 
    be
    side 
    her, 
    bewildered, 

    I 
    get a 
    peck 
    on 
    the cheek 

    She 
    lifts 
    up 
    her 
    hand 

    before 
    I 
    can speak 

    As she 
    points 
    to 
    my 
    car 
    my 

    body 
    goes 
    weak 

    Somehow 
    I 
    know 
    she's 

    pointin' 
    at me 

    And the cops 
    and 
    the ambulances, 

    the 
    red 
    and 
    blue 
    spin 

    Of all 
    the 
    king's 
    horses 

    and 
    all 
    the 
    king's 
    men 

    She 
    takes 
    my 
    hand 
    as I 
    take 
    it all 
    in 

    And 
    we split 
    a purple 
    sno- 
    con
    e 

    Verse 6
    Sweet 
    Janine 

    What 
    could all of this mean 

    Is 
    it 
    just 
    a 
    dream 

    Or am 
    I 
    wak
    ing? 

    Verse 7
    It's 
    a 
    hundred 
    degrees 
    on 
    Union 
    today 

    I'm 
    in the 
    passing 
    lane, 
    passing 
    away

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
