Nothing better to do let's ride bikes
nothing better to do let's ride bikes
or maybe have a game of chase
but where we runnin' we're not getting any place

and I learned the secrets of life when I was little

my best friend lived a few doors down
my best friend lived down the street
his mom had all the junk food
my mom was into health food

we wore green jeans and red keds
we wore red keds and green jeans
we didn't have to try them on
just as long as they were green and a little too long

outside all day long wild and free
nobody knew where we were 'cept my friends and me
when mom called my name it was time to go home
one last game in the street light glow

Dad drove us home at night in the family car
my eyelids got heavy watching the moon and the stars
I'd pretend to sleep because I knew
my parents would carry me up to my room
