Tricycles and Jackknives

We were four years old that first day we met He said do you like the people I dont know exactly what I said We decided to go outside and go for a ride On some plastic tricycles We rode across the street to ride the sidewalk for a while Before too long time goes by Can I give you some advice Before too long time goes by You dont know how long you'll have your friends so try to be nice We were stopped by two older boys one took his jackknife out The one said to the other come on take your knife out We took off pedling as fast as we could go I started crying cause I was lost then in the end Went back with my future bro In nineteenseventythree The friendship began for me Before too long time goes by Can I give you some advice Before too long time goes by You dont know how long you'll have your friends so try to be nice It's been a long time since nineteen seventy three We even are friends today on The Wrong Side Of History Before too long time goes by Can I give you some advice Before too long time goes by You dont know how long you'll have your friends so try to be nice
