Boy Needs A Bike — текст песни (Jewel)


Jewel - Boy Needs a Bike

Papa works in the shop till eight,
Mom`s on the phone and she`s kind of irrate.
Sally`s doing somersaults on the lawn.
Pa slams open the front screen door just to scare Ma.
She says "What the hell`d you do that for?"
He washes his dirty hands in the sink.

Things around the table are kind of rough,
Ma says it`s Pa, Pa says times are just tough.
Me and Sally don`t say much of nothin` at all.
The garage door light brightens up the night.
Pa always works on cars when he gets in a fight,
as though he could figure out that woman
by working on that old car.

He said "A car could cure any problem at all,
cause seeing all those parts makes a fight look so small."
But I wish he`d put me and Sally
in the back seat and drive us away.
That`s when he sits me down,
say`s he`s going to teach me about life.
He said "A man needs a car,
and a boy needs a bike."
I got my first taste of freedom
beneath the light of the moon.

But if it were me,
I`d have the guts.
I`d put to test
those bolts and nuts,
and I`d ride away,
so fast,
so far.

We put away our tools, we go back inside.
Mom feels left out and now she`s starting to cry.
I wonder if all girls are crazy this way?
"I wish your Pap would just get a spine."
I said, "I know it`s little, but you can borrow mine."
He just smiles and says, "Your Mom means well, son."
Most times are good,
it`s just some that are mean.
But love makes up for times in between.
He had a tear in his eye as he took Mama`s hand,
said one day I`d understand.

But if it were me,
I`d have the guts.
I`d put to test,
those bolts and nuts.
And I`d ride away.
So fast.
So far.

Ride away,
So fast,
so far.

Ride away.
