Lyrics

Summer vacation came in We threw our books in the garbage bin
We pedalled as fast as we could Riding our bikes through the neighborhood
We had a whole summer stretching before us
And warm wind that blew through our hair
I rode up beside you and tooted my horn
I shouted out to you there

C:
I'll race you home The last one there is a rotten egg
Then I bore down I felt the power in my legs
The maple trees went racing by I felt maybe I could fly
When I raced you home

High school had come to an end Through all the years we were best friends
We threw our caps in the air We got our diplomas and got out of there
The sidewalk was crowded in front of the school
There wasn't enough room to stand
You grabbed my arm and we both took off You shouted to me as we ran

C

B:
We both found ourselves fighting for Uncle Sam
Until that awful day shattered all our plans

It was finally summer again Both of our treatments had come to an end
We rolled our chairs out the door Knowing that we'd never walk anymore
But we both had made it, we both survived We helped each other get through
And now it was summer just like the old days So that's why I shouted to you

C:
I used my arms instead of my legs
