The Sprinkler

[Verse 1]
Lookin' out my window, I see some old friends ridin' down the street
On the bikes we used to ghost ride on the playground
But I broke my bike last fall
And my parents were appalled
At my lack of respect for personal property

[Verse 2]
Sitting in the basement eatin' Peanut Butter Captain Crunch
Watchin' Flipper and building models
But that stuff wears out faster than my All Stars
Lock myself in my bedroom and play with my Hot Wheels cars

[Chorus]
Layin' in the back yard, playin' like a rock star, wish that I could forget
Runnin' through the sprinkler until I'm soaking wet

[Verse 3]
I'll forget whatever happened to me and all my white trash friends
They got sick of me, or I grew out of them
But they must have felt betrayed when I stopped seein' things their way
Lost all interest in the stupid plans we made

[Verse 4]
But I can still see 'em skatin' down the steepest hills
We were all fearless, and our parents feared the doctor's bills
Just havin' fun was our excuse
Just bein' cool was the truth
Don't try to stop us, 'cause it ain't no use

[Chorus]
Layin" in the back yard, playin' like a rock star, wish that I could forget
Runnin' through the sprinkler until I'm soaking wet
Layin' in the back yard, playin' like a rock star, wish that I could forget
Running through the sprinkler until I'm soaking wet

[Outro]
I'll forget
What you said
Just not yet
