The Sprinkler

Lyrics

[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
