ask about my problems, I won't tell you no lies
everyday I'm getting older and the more I compromise
I've got debt and doubt and worries piled up outside my door
makes me wanna ride my old bicycle down to the grocery store
and buy me some baseball cards and stick 'em in my spokes
and ride around the old gym and sneak a couple of smokes
then cruise around the car wash, till the sun goes down
that used to be enough to make my world go round
repeat intro
I recall when I was younger, how I couldn't wait
until I got older, now it's getting too late
to go out and do all of those things that I did
I didn't know I had it made when I was a kid
and I'd go rolling down a hill, on a yellow slip and slide
my friends would count to 20, and I'd run and hide
and we'd toilet paper houses, play a little king of the mound
that used to be enough to make my world go round
repeat intro
now you can leave a message at the sound of the tone
you can e mail or fax me, or try my mobile phone
but I"m turning 'em all off, I can't take it no more
I think I'm gonna ride my old bicycle down to the grocery store
repeat 1st chorus
