When the Street Lights Come On

Slip and slides and cherry snow cones
Running barefoot from home to home
Not a thing planned and no cell phones
Just BMX bikes and room to roam

The sun was out, the sky was blue
Imagining all the things we could do
The neighborhood was the world we knew
And we took off early with just one rule

Be home
Oh yeah
When the street lights come on

Long hours but the days flew fast
Not enough time when you're having a blast
But no worries about making it last
Just a bunch of kids who never thought it would pass

The sun was out, the sky was blue
The morning warmth was the day's preview
The neighborhood was the world we knew
And we took off early with just one rule

Be home
Uh huh
When the street lights come on

Yeah be home
Uh huh
When the street lights come on

Yeah we'll keep running
Uh huh
Until the street lights come on

Another day in an innocent's dream
Big adventure and chocolate ice cream
When the world was small and it seemed
Like everyone was on the same team

Oh yeah
So young and naive
Small fish swimming toward the big sea
It was a time to believe

Oh yeah
Uh huh
Until the street lights come on

Long ago feels like yesterday
When our summers were spent the usual way
All the fun we had a nostalgic replay
As sunset loomed over childhood days

The sun was out, the sky was blue
Time was ticking we had so much to do
The neighborhood was the world we knew
And we took off early with just one rule

Be home
Uh huh
When the street lights come on

Yeah be home
Uh huh
When the street lights come on

Yeah we'll keep running
Uh huh
Until the street lights come on

Adulthood can wait
Uh huh
Until the street lights come on

Until the street lights come on
Until the street lights come on
Uh huh
Until the street lights come on
