Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We had jarts in the yard
Dad said, "Watch your eye"
Screen door slam, then gone
Before the supper flies
Wandering down two streets
No phones in our hand
Just scraped knees, cracked backs
And a map drawn in sand
We knew every chain-link fence
Every barking dog
Every cut-through path
Behind the corner store
[Pre-Chorus]
By dark, you had to be home
By dark, you knew the rule
Till then we ran wild
Like we owned the neighborhood school
[Chorus]
Hose water kids
We drank the day
Hose water kids
Then ran away
Tree fort kings
With dirt on our skin
Feral little hearts
And we did it again
Hose water kids
Hose water kids
[Verse 2]
Built a fort in the oak
With a stolen plank
Green army blanket roof
And a rusted tank
We made a throne from milk crates
A flag from old sheets
Declared our patch of woods
A kingdom on Oak Street
Great music on the radio
Through a crackling box
Turn it loud, then disappear
Before the porch light locks
[Pre-Chorus]
By dark, you had to be home
By dark, you knew the rule
Till then we ran wild
Like we owned the neighborhood school
[Chorus]
Hose water kids
We drank the day
Hose water kids
Then ran away
Tree fort kings
With dirt on our skin
Feral little hearts
And we did it again
Hose water kids
Hose water kids
[Bridge]
No map, no app
No leash, no chain
Just a free-roam world
And a summer rain
We learned our names
From broken games
From skinned-up shins
And calling each other in
[Final Chorus]
Hose water kids
We drank the day
Hose water kids
Then ran away
Tree fort kings
With dirt on our skin
Feral little hearts
And we did it again
Hose water kids
Hose water kids
