I was locked all day, in the summer heat. In a small brown house, in suburban street. With a skateboard and my shit guitar I’d dream all day that they would get me far
My dad would ask me about my grades The asshole sports that I never played
And it was near when I turned 16 Got kicked out of school and so it seemed That things were closing in and ready to blow
It took an hour to start a punk rock band To offset my fucked up family land And as I held my mom would start to cry I swore ourselves a better life
If I had a chance for another try, I wouldn't change a thing, It’s made me all of who I am inside. And if I could thank god, that I am here and that I am alive. And everyday I wake, and tell myself a little harmless lie, The whole wide world is mine.
The summers gone, the years have past My friends have changed, a few did last. The smallest dreams got pushed aside For the largest ones that changed my life
And all I wish for has come to pass From rock n roll to love and cash It’s all success if its what you need Do what you like and do it honestly
If I had a chance for another try, I wouldn't change a thing, It’s made me all of who I am inside. And if I could thank god, that I am here and that I am alive. And everyday I wake, and tell myself a little harmless lie, The whole wide world is mine.
