lyrics

tasseled red handlebars, traded rookie cards
stuck in the chome of spokes to sound in your way
so sound in your ways, on that vintage Schwinn Stingray
that your daddy thieved in the 70s
thought you saw his mirage in the roadway lines
those roadway lines were pulsing with the passage of time
things were different then
you'd wear your scabs with a laugh
friendship was effortless
since the the day you made me your friend
with those memories of when we'd...

ride our bikes on drunk summer nights
learning how to coast til' the Fourth of July
where you left me, pedaling, pedaling my bike
and I'm pedaling, I'm pedaling
'til you coast back down

now when I'm riding 'round the island
singing the anthem of tandems all alone
my broken bones got set with tape cassettes of rock and roll
well, you of all people
know that I sold my soul
and I can't get it back
I can't change the past
with those memories of when we'd...

ride our bikes on drunk summer nights
learning how to coast til' the Fourth of July
where you left me, pedaling, pedaling my bike
and I'm pedaling, I'm pedaling
'til you coast back down

well when it's been 20 years
since we went our directions form this intersection
oh when it's been 20 years
do you think we'll be friends like we were when we met?

could we still be
will we still be friends?
