Drivin' Down the Avenue

Blue sky fades in the summer sun Summer sun gives way to fun on the run Warm air , dark nights, watchin’ city lights Drivin’ down the avenue ,takin’ in the sights Moon comes up over a cozy ocean blue Leaving a path to dream of something new Upon the sea wishes come true Drivin’ down the avenue When life goes bad , the good times gone Where you gonna go , to sing your song Workin’ a part time job, pullin’ down a part time purse Should a stayed in the grades, not gone to work But at least you got more comin’ out of school They give adults less, that ain’t cool What the heck is up with that Crazy bastards tryin’to control their peeps Ruin your life, while they become the rich elite Life is easy feedin’ on the bourgeoisie Life is easy reflectin’ on things that should a been Feel the breeze, watch the city lights , take in the sights The sun still shines , so take your fun on the run On moonlit paths , over the oceans wrath But leave a path for dreamin’ something new Sometimes wishes come true , drivin’ down the avenue
