Full Lyrics: (Snappy guitar shuffle kicks in) Verse 1 Heat hangs thick ‘cross the main street dust Servo sign glows where the shadows trust Kids ride bikes ‘til the sun dips low Old blokes sit where the verandahs go Cane‑trucks rumble down the bitumen line Everyone’s waitin’ for the cool twilight Some folks stay, some pack and go Chasin’ work where the big winds blow Verse 2 There’s no grand castle, no fancy gate Just hard days here and the chance to wait Some win small things, some lose their way But the sun still rises every single day Mates meet up down the park’s old track Talk ‘bout the years they’ve had so far back Dream of trips or a better turn While the summer haze keeps on burnin’ Pre‑Chorus Summer haze town — sun hangs long and slow Summer haze town — where the warm winds blow We don’t know what tomorrow brings But we’ve got our mates and our simple things Chorus: Summer haze town — dust and golden light! Summer haze town — waitin’ for the night! Summer haze town — some stay, some roam! Summer haze town — this is where we call home! Summer haze town — dust and golden light! Summer haze town — waitin’ for the night! Summer haze town — some stay, some roam! Summer haze town — this is where we call home! (Fade: shuffle guitar + crickets)
