Dirt Road from Bones by rickoLus

living on a dirt road
not even ten years old
those days seemed hughed in gold

ride my huffy down
to the jiffy store
lemonheads and coca cola

I climbed to the very top
of the old pine tree
nothing up there seemed out of reach

On our dirt road

theres a rusty trampoleen
in an overgrown backyard
we found a dirty magazine

theres a bike race going down
I caught a bump and hit the ground
I got the wind knocked out of me

and theres always a girl
just puppy love soft and sweet
she knocked that boy right off his feet

On our dirt road

I heard some friend sof mine
making fun of other kids
just for the color of their skin

I was too young to understand
but I never played along
I guess I was old enough to know that they were wrong

On our dirt road

Once they paved the road
everything had changed
and I learned what a skateboard was
