about

Memories of growing up.

lyrics

I stepped on
I was 9
I thought that
Everything would be fine

I looked up
Then I was down
Face flat
On the

They called me queer
So sad
Suddenly
I was mad

In a daze
By your side
Wishing I could go outside

Thinkin’ ‘bout Saturday
We would play the day away
Until Monday morning…

(We were)
On the bus
On the bus
we would fight and cuss

On the bus
On the bus
every single one of us

We would feel
So fine
Even when we shoved in line

It was real
We would shine
Everything was mine

Down the hill
On my slide
Or, we could run and hide

Across the lake
On our skates
We could
hardly wait

We’re dropping coins
Didn’t care
Stripped down to
Our underwear

In the pool
One more game
We’d never be the same

Every single Sunday
We would play the day away
Back on Monday morning…

(We were)
On the bus
On the bus
we would fight and cuss
On the bus
On the bus
every single one of us

We would feel
So fine
Even when we shoved in line

It was real
We would shine
Everything was mine

Praying for a snow day
Dad says, “no way!”
You still have to go

Andy on the radio
Says, oh no no
There’s no school today Hooray!

Chorus

East Shore, South Shore, North Shore, West Lake Drive

We couldn’t wait ’til Friday afternoon
