| Teenagers jumping off a railroad
|
| They’ve known each other since they were kids
|
| It’s the end of the summer, good friends ready to fly
|
| They do the cannonball into the creek
|
| They’ll do the cannonball one more week
|
| At the end of the summer, good friends saying goodbye
|
| They were riding double on bicycles
|
| Buying bubble gum and vying for the sun
|
| And the summer was so long 'til the summer was so gone
|
| Your sister went to college in the fall
|
| She took her posters off the bedroom wall
|
| And your family drove all night from the university
|
| And in the morning looking down the hall
|
| She left her trophies and a couple of dolls
|
| And your family would be alright 'cause you had to be
|
| You were riding double on bicycles
|
| Buying bubble gum and vying for the sun
|
| And the summer was so long 'til the summer was so gone
|
| On we go down crooked roads alone to who knows where
|
| Burning in this moment like a sparkler in mid-air
|
| When you are jumping off a railroad
|
| No one can tell you what living is
|
| At the end of the summer, are you ready to fly?
|
| We were riding double on bicycles
|
| Buying bubble gum and vying for the sun
|
| And the summer was so long 'til the summer was so gone
