Prompt / Lyrics
I can remember, when the grass was to long to mow End of summer, I was dying for some snow I can remember, when I laughed so hard it hurt I can remember, coming in covered with dirt [Chorus] Just a young man loving life, it was the greatest Only things I need to understand Respect my ma-ma Hold my friends up always highest Only thing I needed Was another pair of dirty shoes Dirty shoes Light or dark were playing Out in the sun all day and Running down to the lake to splish and splash Down to the corner store where We can get some candy oh yeah Baby just run a round, get our bubble gum on yeeeeaah Before the sun goes down we’re covering some ground Catch a couple frogs dig in the dirt, and be happy cause we found Another sometime day Another silly game to play With my best friend by my side All we needed were bikes to ride! [Chorus] Just a young man loving life, it was the greatest Only things I need to understand Respect my ma-ma Hold my friends up always highest Only thing I needed Was another pair of dirty shoes Dirty shoes Muddy high tops, playing out in the park Little ladies come we didn’t mind it Playing catch and living the dream yeah Well the days they just flew by and Tonka truck out in the sun and Every sand box, we built a castle in it [Bridge] Climbing up trees And skinnin up our kneeeeeeees Working on dirty shoes Compleeeeeeete Living in the right here and now Couldn’t seeeeee What those days would mean to me now Working on dirty shoes I remember you [Final Chorus] Just a young man loving life, it was the greatest Only things I need to understand Respect my ma-ma Hold my friends up always highest Only thing I needed Was another pair of dirty shoes Dirty shoes Working on them with you Yeeaaaah Ooooh Yeeaaah Dirty shoes
