Panther City lyrics by Leon Bridges
Lil’ Debbies from the corner store caught bruises at Hillside
Drinking that fruit punch on a Saturday
Brandon dancing on the front porch, his big brother was George
He’d always borrow my tapes and lose them thangs
Goin’ down to the community center
Rock, paper, scissors
‘Cause you know the winner would be the first to play Nintendo 64
In the summertime on the south side
It’s alright
In the summertime on the south side
It’s just fine
In Panther City
In Panther City, yeah
All the crackheads and prostitutes on Rosedale
My father said go straight home
Or I’d catch hell
Don’t walk around them streets at night
There was a girl, she lived on Pinky Street, her name was Jaime
I used to drive by her house every day
That was my first taste of love
In the summertime on the south side
It’s alright
In the summertime on the south side
It’s just fine
In Panther City
In Panther City, yeah
The other night, I rolled down Cannon
To remind myself and feel something
To remind myself and feel something
In the summertime on the south side
It’s alright
In the summertime, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
In the summertime on the south side
It’s alright
In the summertime on the south side
In the summertime, sometimes I go back there in my mind
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
Oh, sometimes I just wanna feel, yeah
