lyrics

The bell rang, school was out
It was summertime
Freedom for a few months
As long as there was daylight
Limitless adventure awaited us
Out in the streets
Wherever our bicycles could carry us
There we would be

Were we angels with dirty faces
Or devils without horns
Smoking candy cigarettes, trading baseball cards
Making our own rules, keeping our own scores
No fences could hold us
And the neighborhood was our yard

I remember that one time when
We were playing ball
Mooned the old man next door
For no reason for all
Someone’s ass got blistered that day and it
Wasn’t mine
Funny the things you recall after
Such a long time

Were we angels with dirty faces
Or devils without horns
Smoking candy cigarettes, trading baseball cards
Making our own rules, keeping our own scores
No fences could hold us
And the neighborhood was our yard

All these years later
And here we are
Working 9 to 5’s with families,
Houses and cars
Rare occasions we get out and
Meet up at the bar
All these years later, have we
Really come that far?

Were we angels with dirty faces
Or devils without horns
Smoking candy cigarettes, trading baseball cards
Making our own rules, keeping our own scores
No fences could hold us
And the neighborhood was our yard
