Rhyme for Summertime
13th street at Carrier[?], center lane
[?]
I don't know but I'm on the game
Stop lights that must be but I'm in the shade
Shade of a big city tree indeed
I like summer and I like the heat
But in the sun I need something to sit underneath
Now once again, sunshine on my head
Green light down the road I sped
Oh, quick stop at the mini mart
I got some money to spend
A soda pop then
I'm back on my bike
I'm back on my bike
Ride through it all, ride through it all
Here's a sight to see
It's over 80 degrees
There's a bum standing
Long pants, long sleeves
I said I can't believe I'm sweating, you're not
It's hot - look at a calendar clock
It's summertime
Yes, yes, it's summertime
"Oh, Summertime? Son, listen
Understand
Can't you, can't you comprehend?
Should I drop you a line, leave you a hint?
Would you believe I'm still cold from winter!
It's a hard life, hard life
[???]
Hard life, gimme gimme gimme what's mine
I'm on my bike
Ride through it all
Ride through it all, ride through it all
Aw yeah yeah yeah
Fountain babe, the truth's devastating
Fountain baby, Time to start shaving your face
Little bit of ruckus[?] on the side
[?] but if you've gotta hide
Put it in your pocket, save it for later
Now ain't the time to be a world saver
Follow your own mind, write your own linea
Listen to yourself if you're inclined
Oh, the problem's plain - I see it everyday
People just ain't got no money to pay
No money to pay
Oh, no money to pay
I seen a group of kids
The shop owner chasin' 'em down
They got the money, gave em the run around
Got that money, gave them a run around
What if he had nabbed 'em, bagged 'em, tagged 'em
They're just kids, what you gonna do with 'em?
Yeah, they're just kids
And if they was caught
What would we [???] from the time that they bought
I'm on my bike
Ride through it all
Ride through it all, ride through it all
Ride through it all
I'm on my bike, low profile
A big, big sucker smile
I'm watch it so I don't get involved
My problems come, I watch them dissolve
I'll drive my [?] no questions asked
Bit my lip - thanks for the tip
Ah, I ain't soft ya know, and in this state of mind
I ain't soft ya know, and if it's a state of mind
I'm on my bike
Follow my line
Follow my line
In the summer, people slowed up
But that don't give us time to fill up the cup
With chains and cash
This month's special
God damn where the money went
There's no telling
Oh no, oh no
There's no telling
Oh no, oh no
Where it goes
Where did it go
With a pocket in my hole
Oh first year away from home
Here I am solid giggin' on my own
Today I'm on my bike sweatin' the dough
I'll see you tonight
Ready to go to the show
Ah so low, so low
Cuz that's how I play
A one man show each and everyday
Today I'm on my bike, today I'm on my bike
I'll see ya tonight, I see ya tonight
I see ya tonight
I'm on my bike, I'm on my bike
Follow my line, follow my line
Follow my line, follow my line
