Kick The Can

Had a game
in the neighborhood
when I was just
a young man
we'd sit out late
on the stoop
and wait
in the summertime
for all the gang
We had no worries
we had no doubts
never had any plans
we'd just meet
on Inglis Street
and get up a game
of Kick the Can

Kick the can
and you keep on runnin'
kick the can
"ally all in free"
take a kick at the can
when you see it comin'
come on darlin'
take a kick with me

Used to chase
the moon
through the neighborhood
then try to sneak past
my old man
he'd just lay
on the couch and say
"one day boy
you'll understand"
but I had no worries
I had no fear
never had a long-term plan
just breaking the rules
cuttin' school
to meet up the gang
and kick the can

Kick the can
and you keep on runnin'
kick the can
"ally all in free"
take a kick at the can
when you see it comin'
come on darlin'
take a kick with me
Kick the can
and you keep on runnin'
kick the can
"ally all in free"
take a kick at the can
when you see it comin'
come on darlin'
take a kick with me

In the heart of an old man,
there's a little bit of youth
in the heart of every young man
there's still something to prove

Solo

The gang grew up
people changed
we went our separate ways
but now and then
we'll meet again
and reminisce
about the good old days
when we had no worries
we had no doubt
never had long-term plans
we'd just meet
on Inglis Street
and get up a game
of kick the can

Kick the can
and you keep on runnin'
kick the can
"ally all in free"
take a kick at the can
when you see it comin'
come on darlin'
take a kick with me
Kick the can
and you keep on runnin'
kick the can
"ally all in free"
take a kick at the can
when you see it comin'
come on darlin'
take a kick with me
Kick the can
and you keep on runnin'
kick the can
"ally all in free"
take a kick at the can
when you see it comin'
come on darlin'
take a kick
with me

come on darlin'

come on darlin'
