Well The Kid and me were the team to beat

We could stand up to the big boys,

generate some heat

and we never thought nothin' about

livin on the streat back then.

Yes sir, we lied a little,

and we maybe stole some

sayin "Southern CA here we come"

and we took off down the highway sayin'

never goin' back again

It was on the first day of summer

we were the number one outfront runner

On the first day of summer

nothin feels the same

and it feels so good

It was on the first day of summer

It was on the first day of summer

On the first day of summer

the whole world knows your name

and it feels so good

Now the kid was drivin and I rode shotgun

we were splittin up the money

from our number ones

Beatin' time to the radio

Yes I'm gonna be someone

Campin' by the road out in Santa Fe

The kid stole the keys and he drove away

I wound up washin' dishes at a a Holiday Inn

sometime I wonder what became of him
