Summer lake nostalgia

Songtext

[Verse 1] Dust on the gravel, banana-seat bike Hands off the handlebars, shoes untied Cut-off jeans and a scab on my knee The whole town's buzzing like a hive of bees Past the Baptist church and the Dairy Queen Chain's been skipping since I was thirteen One good hill and the dock's in sight Ain't no brakes on a Saturday night [Chorus] And I ride it straight off the end Bike and all, holler and swim Splash comes up and the minnows scatter Mama's gonna yell but it don't matter Sun on the water, mud on my skin I'd do it again and again and again Let the whole wide summer come rolling in I ride it straight off the end [Verse 2] Jimmy bet a dollar that I'd chicken out So I pedaled harder and I found out Lake water's colder than a root beer float But you don't turn back once your wheels leave the road Sank to the bottom, bubbles and green Fished my bike out with a jug-line and a dream Rust on the spokes by the Fourth of July But my pride was shinier than the sky [Chorus] And I ride it straight off the end Bike and all, holler and swim Splash comes up and the minnows scatter Mama's gonna yell but it don't matter Sun on the water, mud on my skin I'd do it again and again and again Let the whole wide summer come rolling in I ride it straight off the end [Bridge] Some folks grow up, buy a boat, play it safe Keep their wheels on the solid ground Me, I still hear that dock calling my name Every time the sun comes back around [Chorus] And I ride it straight off the end Bike and all, holler and swim Splash comes up and the minnows scatter Mama's gonna yell but it don't matter Sun on the water, mud on my skin I'd do it again and again and again Let the whole wide summer come rolling in I ride it straight off the end [Outro] Off the end Off the end Best dollar I ever spent Off the end
