| First day of school they called me a disgrace |
| They didn’t like the long hair, |
| didn’t like the face |
| A whole lot of rules that had to be obeyed |
| Get back in line and stand up straight |
| But I had my first guitar |
| And Hendrix on the wall |
| All of the kids hanging out in the yard |
| Platforms, feather cuts dying to be hard |
| I wanted to be older, wanted to be cool |
| So I smoked by the gym and lied like a fool |
| Then came my first slow dance |
| And I thought I knew it all |
| Those wonder days of my life |
| When the summer seemed so long |
| I won’t forget until I’m gone |
| Every minute lasted hours |
| We were misunderstood, just looking for |
| something to do |
| Just like every misfit, started up a band |
| Didn’t have clue and I didn’t understand |
| Why all of a sudden there were girls around |
| 'Cause if the truth be known we could barely |
| make a sound |
| I’m not one for looking back |
| But when I do I have to smile |
| Those wonder days of my life |
| When the summer seemed so long |
| I won’t forget until I’m gone |
