Lyrics for A Boy Needs A Bike Ride Away by Jewel:
| | | Artist: | Jewel |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | A Boy Needs A Bike Ride Away | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 94 | | | | Lyrics: | Pop works in the shop til eight
Mom's on the phone and she's kind of irate
Sally's doing
summersaults on the lawn
Pop slams open the front screen door
Just to scare mom
She
says, "What the hell did you do that for?"
He washes his dirty hands in the sink
And
things around the table are kind of rough
Mom says it's pa
Pa says, "The times are just
tough"
And me and Sally don't say much of nothing at all
The garage door light brightens
up the night
Pa always works on cars when he gets in a fight
As though he could figure out
that woman by working on that
old car
He said a car can cure any problem at all
Cause
of looking at all them parts makes a fight look so small
But I wish he'd just put me and Sally
in the backseat and
drive us away
That's when he sits me down
He says he's gonna
teach me about life
He said, "A man needs a car and a boy needs a bike"
I got my first
taste of freedom beneath the light of the moon
But if it were me
I'd have the guts to put
to test those bolts and nuts
And I'd Ride Away so fast, so far
Ride Away... So fast, so
far
Put away our tools
We go back inside
Mom feels left out and now she's starting to
cry
I wonder if all girls are crazy this way
I wish pops would just get a spine
I
said I know it's kind of small but you can borrow mine
He just smiled and said, "Your mom means
well son"
Most times are good it's just some that are lean
But it's love that makes up for
those times in between
He got a tear in his eye as he took mamma's hand
said one day I'd
understand
But if it were me
I'd have the guts to put to test those bolts and
nuts
And I'd Ride Away so far, so fast
Ride Away so fast so far
