[ti:A Boy Needs A Bike]
[00:16.82] Pop works in the shop til eight
[00:20.48] Mom's on the phone and she's kind of irate
[00:24.46] Sally's doing sommersaults on the lawn
[00:31.35] Pop slams open the front screen door
[00:34.71] Just to scare mom
[00:36.10] She says, "what the hell did you do that for? "
[00:39.00] He washes his dirty hands in the sink
[00:45.92] things around the table are kind of rough
[00:48.93] Mom says it's pa
[00:50.42] Pa says, "the times are just tough"
[00:53.57] me and sally don't say much of nothing at all
[01:00.43] The garage door light brightens up the night
[01:03.19] Pa always works on cars when he gets in a fight
[01:05.94] As though he could figure out that woman by working on that
[01:10.85] Old car
[01:14.04] He said a car can cure any problem at all
[01:17.74] Cause of looking at all them parts makes a fight look so small
[01:22.76] But I wish he'd just put me and sally in the backseat and
[01:25.91] Drive us away
[01:28.93] That's when he sits me down
[01:30.63] He says he's gonna teach me about life
[01:32.18] He said, "a man needs a car and a boy needs a bike"
[01:36.33] I got my first taste of freedom beneath the light of the moon
[01:45.03] if it were me
[01:48.75] I'd have the guts I put to test those bolts and nuts
[01:59.10] And I'd ride away so fast, so far
[02:14.89] Put away our tools
[02:16.13] go back inside
[02:18.11] Mom feels left out and now she's starting to cry
[02:22.87] I wonder if all girls are crazy this way
[02:30.01] I wish pops would just get a spine
[02:32.81] I said I know it's kind of small but you can borrow mine
[02:38.38] He just smiled and said, "your mom means well son"
[02:45.18] Most times are good it's just some that are lean
[02:47.90] But it's love that makes up for those times in beteween
[02:51.20] He got a tear in his eye as he took mamma's hand
[02:58.11] Said one day I'd understand
[03:04.50] if it were me
[03:08.14] I'd have the guts I put to test those bolts and nuts
[03:17.84] And I'd ride away so far, so fast
[03:30.20] Ride away so fast so far
[03:37.21] Ride away
