The summer ride or dies
There ain’t no reason why
Good things can’t be
At another times
I see them make that money
Right in front of me
Days of ’88
We had everything in life
If you looked at it right
We had reasons cause things rhymes
Because things rhymes
Because things rhymes
Then it hit me
This trip has taken me
Somewhere I thought I’d never be
To a place that feels a long time coming
When we’re speaking easily
It really sets me free
Why don’t we just go on jamming
See the energy shining all around you
Higher than the smoke that might surround you
It’s like eat work play sleep
Drinking out jams eight days a week
It’s like wake up what can I say
I want another one just like today
Come on
Looking back in my mind
How about those times
Were they all a dream
In the story would we I
Wild with the limes
We were all a team
Days of ’88
We had everything in life
If you looked at it right
We had reasons cause things rhymes
Because things rhymes
Because things rhymes
Then it hit me
This trip has taken me
Somewhere I thought I’d never be
To a place that feels a long time coming
When we’re speaking easily
It really sets me free
Why don’t we just go on jamming
See the energy shining all around you
Higher than the smoke that might surround you
Here’s a little story to follow
I bet ya
Humming through the same one tomorrow
You never know
It could have been a swing and a miss
Or just another go
It’s something that we couldn’t resist
I’ll tell ya better know
See the energy shining all around you
Higher than the smoke that might surround you
Then it hit me
