Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Back when I was sixteen
Always loved to daydream
Favorite song was Billie Jean
Had the jacket, the curl and everything
Used to ride a skateboard
Never really liked sports
My favorite cousin bought a four door Hummer
Dad in the car, crashed the very next summer
[Verse 2]
Well, man, cheer up
Next medic gettin' dragged by the ice cream truck
Follow your gut
Don't let nothin' but a earthquake shake you up
And no matter what
You look him in the face, never play it safe, no
Gotta take a chance in life
It ain't like you gon' make it out alive
[Verse 3]
My first dog Benji
Benji was a mutt
Benji liked to bite folks
So Benji got locked up
I got my first white girl
She bought me a hat
My mama didn't like her
So she made me give it back
Damn
[Verse 4]
Well, man, cheer up
Next medic gettin' dragged by the ice cream truck
Follow your gut
Don't let nothin' but a earthquake shake you up
And no matter what
You look him in the face, never play it safe, no
Gotta take a chance in life
It ain't like you gon' make it out alive
[Verse 5]
Memories, memories all in my head
Time will keep ticking but I won't forget ya
I promise you, promise you, nothing's forever
Memories, memories all in my head
Time will keep ticking but I won't forget ya
I promise you, promise you, nothing's forever
[Verse 6]
Mama always blamed me
Daddy was ashamed of me
Them pills took the pain from me
But only temporarily
Then I hit puberty
But the girls wasn't into me
I found my step dad's magazines
My whole freshman year they called me vaseline
[Verse 7]
Man, cheer up, yeah
Next medic gettin' dragged by the ice cream truck
Follow your gut
Don't let nothin' but a earthquake shake you up
And no matter what
You look him in the face, never play it safe, no
Gotta take a chance in life
It ain't like you gon' make it out alive
