Old School

Old School 

Remember the old boom box boogey down to the socks
 Reggie Jackson chewy bars & Tommy's pop rocks
 Parachutte pants with the hair high fade
 Wake up late in a purple haze saying it's going to be one of those days
 Back it up even further playing cowboys and indians in the sand box
 Waiting at the corner for the ice cream man to come with his stuff
 Boy, hero's fade from the scene such an evil scheme
 Wouldn't care in what I said or did throwing an M80 under a garbage lid
 Back when it was fashionable to be late for your date
 Baking grandmas cookies in the oven for sure
 Sipping on your favorite beverage while the pops watch Dinah Shore 
 Those good old days that have gone before yet soon will discover
 The over weight lover from another mother type of brother
 Fast cars and the midnight scene with the freaks coming out
 Flip flops with your stretch blue jeans such a party scene
 In quaint encounters with the local police running in the street
 Falling mailboxes girls wearing their Sunday best putting their lovers in a test
 A time well spent in thought while going to the fair with music everywhere
 Back in school those days listening to teachers stopping later at the mall
 The movies back then made you feel ten feet tall with Stallone time to roam
 Party's at your neighbors having forts put up in the back
 Mommy & Daddy working to hard enough to give them a heart attack
 Learn to relax with my rubix cube later playing hacky sack
 A soft kiss from a lover under cover as she spins the bottle
 I will never forget those tender moments in the sun thank you I got to run
