Lyrics

I Remember

I remember peddlin’ frantic and fast
Over yellow grass and broken glass
Smokin’ cigarettes and eatin’ sweets
Everything felt good out on the streets

Sunny days forever
Feelin’ light as a feather
Nothin’ could be better
Sweet sweet youth

Went home when the street lights came back on
Mom never knew where I had gone
If I wasn’t back for dinner by six
She’d hold on tight to her crucifix

Sunny days forever
Feelin’ light as a feather
Nothin’ could be better
Sweet sweet youth

Then along came my sixteenth year
All of my peers were busy drinking beer
Me and my old green camper van
Became members of the surfer clan

Sunny days forever
Feelin’ light as a feather
Nothin’ could be better
Sweet sweet youth

Up before dawn on highway one
Checking spots before anyone
Gliding joyfully across glassy walls
No late nights drinking alcohol

Sunny days forever
Feelin’ light as a feather
Nothin’ could be better
Sweet sweet youth

Sweet sweet youth
