Check another box, fill another line
Think of days when your routine was
Nothing more than just sleeping in
Pavement burning hot, spray the water high
Save a little for the fish
Until it starts to burn your feet again
Punch nine on the phone, worry in your eyes
Ask her dad if she can join you
Till the streetlights take the fun away
Turn to channel three when you go inside
Sitting close will probably hurt ya
But we'll deal with that another day
Being a kid don't last forever
But what's forever to a child?
Running after school, pushing through a crowd
Reap the spoils of the test you'll never
Tell them that you failed three times
Car as old as you, but the motor's loud
Light a smoke your buddy got ya
From the station where the clerks are liars
Didn't tell your mom who you were gonna meet
If she saw y'all together
You might never hear the end of it
Take it out of gear off an empty street
As the moonlight sucks away all that's left
Of your innocence
Being a kid don't last forever
But what's forever to a child?
And when the memories grant you sleep
You'll relive them in your dreams
Being a kid don't last forever
But what's forever to a child?
And when the memories grant you sleep
You'll relive them in your dreams
You'll relive them in your dreams
