Street Lights

Street Lights

did you ever wonder
did you ever wonder
what it might be like
to go exploring
following the water
wandering ever farther
until no one can see you
and be invisible
But my mama said she’s gonna kick my ass
if she catches me down by the river again
cause she says that’s where
the druggies and the bad kids like to hang out
and she’s gonna be watching
so we gotta stay clear of that neighborhood
and i gotta be home before the street lights
come on now
have you seen the water
have you seen the water
fall down by rock bottom
and the fish under the bridge
i can find a way there
i can make the way there
if i slip down the back hill
and walk the creek down to the end
