Like Raphael



I was walking down the street, looking at my feet
I didn’t have no shoes.

On the way to school,
looking like a fool
And everybody knew
.

But it was all right
’cause my friends of mine
Knew I had a guitar

They knew I would play,
become a big star
And I would go so far


Remember the times
...when I didn’t have a dime
We remember the time...
when I didn’t have a dime
Those were the best days...


Going down the street playing at the mall

On the cheap bikes

Looking for somebody to steel,
somebody to rob
and somebody to fight


I didn’t know my name as well
as I knew my friends
But I knew we were so cool

Everybody wanted to play by their own rules
We didn’t go to school

Remember the times
...when I didn’t have a dime
We remember the time...
when I didn’t have a dime
Those were the best days...


By the times I was 14 or 15

Trying to pass my driving test

The thing to do was to drive to school

’cause I could never win for best dressed


I drove a raggedy car,
to sneaking to the bars
Young boy life has no stress

Watching cartoons
and poppin balloons
That was the best


Remember the times
...when I didn’t have a dime
We remember the time...
when I didn’t have a dime
Those were the best days...
