Name: Ohio Summer (1985) by Matt Chroust in Matt’s Songs
Duration: 1 min 37 s
Description: Short country song about a high school romance seen in the proverbial rear view mirror of an old blue truck

Here’s the whole thing, with the crickets

I still remember summer
back in 1985,
when I drove my old blue pickup 
halfway up your gravel drive.

And I grabbed a single pebble 
that I threw against the pane
of your second story window,
then I’d wait until you came

I’d climb that creaky trellis
(like an acrobat I thought)
We were young and still rebellious,
didn’t care if we got caught.

I still remember summer
back in 1985…

Now I think it’s real peculiar  
that the promises we made
didn’t live to see the future 
but the kisses didn’t fade.

until after graduation
when we had to say goodbye 
When you moved away from Dayton.
You got married, time went by

I still remember summer
back in 1985…

when I stood beneath your window
‘til I felt it start to rain,
and I picked a piece of gravel,
tossed a pebble at the pane

when I think of that window
and the secrets in my heart.
Come on back to Ohio.
Hear the crickets in the yard

(Come on back to Ohio.
Hear the crickets in the yard.)

A short bluesy riff on a gone-but-not-forgotten woman. I think this would make a great duet with the two singers trading lines about the same missed connection.
