Skater Days

Four wheels and a piece of wood 
Whoever thought this would feel so good 
Riding around grinding and jumping 
Who would've thought this was actually something 
From skate parks to scrape marks 
Everyday was an adventure 
Riding down to the dairy queen wind in my hair 
Watching the world fly by watching as people stare 
They didn't know my name or where I was going 
I was the skater kid that's all they were knowing 
Adrenalin pumping around ever turn 
Watching my idols dying to learn 
After a while things sure did change 
Stair sets hand rails and curbs all looked so strange 
Not as foundation or landscape to adore 
To me they were everything I wanted and more 
Breaking bones and snapping decks 
After learning of sponsors I just wanted checks 
Years went on and I rode by
Known as that skater kid but now skater guy
Working now with college and bills 
Every now and then reliving thos thrills
From kickflips to healflips varials to treys 
Nothing competes with my skater days
