Bike

Well, right now my mom won't let me ride the street
Except for my street and the street that runs to Brian's house
Brian always laughs when I tell him 'bout my streets
'Cause his mom lets him ride anywhere

I'm just glad I got the streets I got
Last week I had to stay on the sidewalk

Someday, I'm gonna see the world
On my bike, on my bike
Me and Brian, we got it figured out
We'll be ready after junior high

We'll ride to Cedar Rapids and then to New York
I've been to New York, but Brian hasn't
We'll ride across to China, Brian knows about China
His dad's a Presbyterian minister

One place we won’t ride is Germany
My mom's from there, it’s why I can't ride on the streets

Someday, I'm gonna see the world
On my bike, on my bike
Me and Brian, we got it figured out
We'll be ready after junior high

Until then, I'll make some dough
Mowing the Nickel's lawn across the street
And Mr. Millhauser, he gives me three dollars
He wanted to give me four, but my mom said that was too much
Two would be enough, but she guessed three was all right

I'm hopin' my mom gives me enough streets
So I can ride to school this year
My sister gets to ride anywhere
'Cause she’s older, besides she rides with her friends

I'm hoping my mom talks to Brian's mom
And she’ll see everything's okay

Someday, I'm gonna see the world
On my bike, on my bike
Me and Brian, we got it figured out
We'll be ready after junior high
We'll be ready to ride after junior high

Right now my mom won’t let me ride on the street
Except for my street and the street that runs to Brian's house
