Lyrics

Any Better Than This
Lonnie Fowler/Brent Wilson

I remember when I hated girls
My neighborhood was the entire world
The diving board was ten miles high
A bed sheet cape could make me fly
I never thought there could be any more to life than

Watching the clock on the last day of school
Riding my bike to the neighborhood pool
Begging Mom for money for the ice cream man
Little league, slip and slide
Mason jars full of fireflies
Blowing on a dandelion and making a wish
I remember thinking
It doesn?t get any better than this

I remember when I turned 18
Racing cars and chasing dreams
We?d kickoff Friday at the football game
Win or lose, we?d stay out late
I never thought it could get better than those high school days

I?ll never forget that last day of school
My first set of wheels so ugly it was cool
Working minimum wage just to pay for gas
Hanging out, sleeping in
Taking her home about half past 10
Sitting on the porch swing and stealing a kiss
I remember thinking
It doesn?t get any better than this

I remember hearing ?it?s a boy? and ?it?s a girl?
Now it?s through my children?s eyes
That I?m looking at the world

Picking them up on the last day of school
Drivin? them down to the neighborhood pool
They?re begging me for money for the ice cream man
Little league, slip and slide
Mason jars full of fireflies
Blowing on a dandelion and making a wish
They?ve got me thinking
It doesn?t get any better than this
