Tires on the black top
Summertime, sodapop, cut-offs and flip-flops, tackle box and a Zebco fishin pole. just thinkin bout the kid things like fireworks and tire swings, and batteries for a hand held radio. Tires on the blacktop the wheels keep getting faster, taking me further down the road, time going too slow, wishin I was older, another day and life is movin on. Main drag and high school flames ,friday nights and football games, a young man with some wild oats to sow. first cars and prom dates, coming home way too late, listening to my southern rock-n-roll. Tires on the blacktop the wheels keep getting faster, takin me further down the road, gotta see what's out there, wishin I was older, another day and life is movin on. Livin out the good life three kids and a housewife, buildin on a future for us all, overtime, try to save, for college funds and I.R.A's workin with our backs against the wall. Tires on the blacktop the wheels keep gettin faster, takin me further down the road, wishin I could make the time for all the things I used to, another day and life is movin on. Porch swings and lemonade, kids grow and move away, holdin hands we look back on it all, think of how it used to be, now it's back to you and me, and darlin I can tell it won't be long. Tires on the blacktop the wheels keep gettin faster, takin me further down the road, time going too fast, I wish that I was younger, another day and life is movin on, another day and life is movin on.
