Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bare feet racing down that hill
Hand-me-down bike, bent back wheel
Mama on the porch yelling, "Slow down!"
We just laughed, dust all over this town
[Chorus]
We had grass stains, fireflies
Skinned-up knees and big blue skies
Nothing in our pockets but time to burn
Mud on our faces, sun on our shoulders
Every summer day felt a little bit bolder
Playing in the yard like the world would never turn
(yeah, let it turn)
[Verse 2]
Sprinkler making diamonds in the air
Cardboard box turned rocket chair
Sidewalk chalk on the old driveway
Spelled our names like they’d never fade away
[Chorus]
We had grass stains, fireflies
Skinned-up knees and big blue skies
Nothing in our pockets but time to burn
Mud on our faces, sun on our shoulders
Every summer day felt a little bit bolder
Playing in the yard like the world would never turn
(let it turn, let it turn)
[Bridge]
Now I drive past that little white gate
Swing still squeaks, paint still flaked
Close my eyes, I’m right back there
Chasing you through the evening air
[Chorus]
With grass stains, fireflies
Skinned-up knees and big blue skies
Nothing in our pockets but time to burn
Mud on our faces, sun on our shoulders
Every summer day felt a little bit bolder
Playing in the yard like the world would never turn
Playing in the yard like the world would never turn
(oh, let it turn)
