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 street back then
Yes sir, we lied a little
and we maybe stole some, sayin
Southern California here we come
and we took off down the highway sayin
Never goin back again
It was on the first day of summer
first day of summer
we were the number one outfront runner
first day of summer
On the first day of summer
nothin feels the same
and it feels so good
It was on the first day of summer
first day of summer
It was on the first day of summer
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 Im 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 Holiday Inn
Sometimes I wonder
what became of him
