Jewel - A Boy Needs A Bike Lyrics
Pop works in the shop til eightMoms on the phone and shes kind of irateSallys doing sommersaults on the lawnPop slams open the front screen doorJust to scare momShe says, "what the hell did you do that for? "He washes his dirty hands in the sinkAnd things around the table are kind of roughMom says its paPa says, "the times are just tough"And me and sally dont say much of nothing at allThe garage door light brightens up the nightPa always works on cars when he gets in a fightAs though he could figure out that woman by working on thatOld carHe said a car can cure any problem at allCause of looking at all them parts makes a fight look so smallBut I wish hed just put me and sally in the backseat andDrive us awayThats when he sits me downHe says hes gonna teach me about lifeHe said, "a man needs a car and a boy needs a bike"I got my first taste of freedom beneath the light of the moonBut if it were meId have the guts to put to test those bolts and nutsAnd Id ride away so fast, so farRide away... so fast, so farPut away our toolsWe go back insideMom feels left out and now shes starting to cryI wonder if all girls are crazy this wayI wish pops would just get a spineI said I know its kind of small but you can borrow mineHe just smiled and said, "your mom means well son"Most times are good its just some that are leanBut its love that makes up for those times in beteweenHe got a tear in his eye as he took mammas handSaid one day Id understandBut if it were meId have the guts to put to test those bolts and nutsAnd Id ride away so far, so fastRide away so fast so farRide away
