Rugburns - Holliston Street Lyrics
We lived on holliston street in the sixtiesWe didnt need much back then, just a smileAnd daddy would singAnd buy us ice creamAnd we would listenUncle louie would come over for dinner on sundaysHe taught piano to my sister, kathAnd Id stand behindAnd imitate himAnd she would laughAnd hed get madAnd if I knew then what I know nowI wouldnt rush the growing oldId take the flu, the measles, and the bluesAnd I guess Id do as I was toldKathy would walk up ahead, and Id followShe seemed so big back then, and me so smallAnd mommy would giveMe one dime, and her two nickelsAnd I would crycause she got moreAnd if I knew then what I know nowI wouldnt rush the growing oldId take the flu, the measles, and the bluesAnd I guess Id do as I was toldThey let us stay up real late to watch ed sullivanWe saw the beatles two times that yearAnd daddy would laughAnd say, look at that dumb hair!But I liked johnMan, I loved johnAnd Id give up candy for lent in the springtimeAnd mama was proudAnd so were the nunsI thought it was okay to eat the candyIf the wrapper was onI was just sucking out the juicesThe juices of lifeAnd if I knew then what I know nowI wouldnt rush the growing oldId take the flu, the measles, and the bluesAnd I guess Id do as I was told
