down on jonquil lane

verse 1

i remember in my first football game

i ran towards the wrong goal

and in my first baseball game

i threw the bat out of control

the first bicycle ride i ever took

was on a bike that i stole

and i caught my long britches leg

right in the chain

hook

down on jonquil lane

 

verse 2

to get to my elementary school

i had to ride the yellow bus

although many times i missed it

and that sure caused a fuss

i was always late because

so many morning things to discuss

arithmatic, english and history

rolling around in my brain

hook

down on jonquil lane

 

verse 3

growing up meant many things

not the least was the girl thing

i found i could get all the attention

if i learned all the words to sing

and it all seemed to explode big

when the weather turned to spring

would it be okay if i mentioned

someone(thing) named mary jane

verse 4

once you have become grown

you gotta get a car

life changes at that particular time

a bike won’t get you that far

and what you get sitting in that driver’s seat

surely can be described as bizarre

but no matter what happens

you’re taught not to complain

hook

down on jonquil lane

 

omega

throughout all the many years

through happiness and pain

i find myself thinking about being

hook
