Backyard Battles

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Summer of '93, on my block every day
Me and my crew, we would always find a way
To make believe, turn sticks into something more
Before video games became the thing we lived for
Just a couple kids with big imaginations
Running through backyards, no complications
Didn't need much to make our day complete
Just some cardboard tubes and moves from off the street
[Chorus]
Remember when we had lightsabers?
Playing in the yard till our moms called us in
Remember when we had lightsabers?
Before we knew what life was gonna begin
[Verse 2]
Now I'm looking back at those summer scenes
When every battle felt real, you know what I mean?
We'd pick our colors - red team, blue team, green
Living out adventures that we'd never seen
Some chose the dark path, others stood for right
But at the end of day, we'd all sleep tight
No real battles, no real pain to face
Just pure fun, moving at our own pace
Every kid on the block wanted to be strong
Training in the force till the streetlights came on
Now the neighborhood's changed, those kids are all grown
Different kind of battles, fighting them alone
[Bridge]
Sometimes I drive past that old yard
Where we used to duel so hard
Wishing I could go back there
When life was simple, free of care
[Chorus]
Remember when we had lightsabers?
Playing in the yard till our moms called us in
Remember when we had lightsabers?
Before we knew what life was gonna begin
[Outro]
[Sound: Old school vinyl scratch]
Sometimes I wish those days weren't gone
But I keep those memories living on
