I was locked all day in the summer heat In a small brown house in suburban streets A skateboard and my shit guitar I dream all day that they would get me far My dad would ask me about my grades The asshole sports that I never played And then id ask about the girls he’d date Behind our backs when mum was staying up late It was then when I turned 16 Got kicked out of school And so it seemed that things were closing in and ready to blow My dad moved out about that year or so It took an hour to start a punk rock band To offset my fucked up family land And as I held my mum would start to cry I swore ourselves a better life
If I had a chance for another try I wouldn’t change a thing It’s made me all who I am inside And if I could thank god that I am here and that I am alive And everyday I wake I tell myself a little harmless lie The whole wide world is mine
The summers gone, the years have passed My friends have changed, a few did last The smallest dreams got pushed aside the largest ones that changed my life And all I’ve wished for has come to pass From rock and roll to love and cash Its all success if its what you need Do what you like and do it honestly
If I had a chance for another try I wouldn’t change a thing It’s made me all who I am inside And if I could thank god that I am here and that I am alive And everyday I wake I tell myself a little harmless lie The whole wide world is mine
He oh yo yo yo ( a few times)
If I had a chance for another try I wouldn’t change a thing It’s made me all who I am inside And if I could thank god that I am here and that I am alive And everyday I wake I tell myself a little harmless lie The whole wide world is mine
