A summer Saturday
On the road with my thump
Hoping for no bumps on my road
Just my towel and bathing suit
Looking to go Jones's
Where the sand is long and hot
That West End 2
Waves to play all day
Across this island paradise
Offering a sweet summer swim
Deep in a flux of ocean rays
The tide is out
The day is gone
Eyes billowing sea salt
On that road again, my thump
Got this burn happening
While the Atlantic oceans waves
Across this island paradise
So I say, I need wheels
To tour my island paradise

I can dress you up
You can let me down
I Love you even more
You can even do less

I'll still hold your door
I'll still carry your bags
I can dress you up
You can never let me down

I know my heart melted
When you stole me whole
To hid my love away
Just to let me down

I'll always dress you up
I'll still melt for you
I'll hold your heart
I'll carry your love
But honey, just don't let me down.

Little Boys, they play all day
Little Boys, don't need no toys
Scruff and *****, little boys
Sneakers and shorts, little boys
Playing with sticks and stones
Finding spiders and snakes
Taking a mud dirt swim
In search of ponds and streams

Little Boys, don't need no toys
Little Boys, they do have toys
Sticks and stones, spiders and snakes.
Playing all day to starlight
No concern behind their sight
In search of the unknown
Little Boys, look out
Finding my own ponds and streams.

I was A Dainty Boy
In all my robes
In all my jewels
Colf stick at my side
My youth was coursed by elders

Knowing my place
And places to come
Served by servants
Protected by walls
Groomed by power, for power

I was A Dainty Boy
In todays society
Enriched by others labor
No sense of hunger
My youth set above, the lesser set

Still my place. And places to come
Unknown in today world, tomorrow
Today's world is only today
Stars and the sun are tomorrow

I am The Dainty Boy
In all my wealth, and glory
Yet I'm still just a youth
Will I see the stars and the sun,
Will I see tomorrow

So I brushed my teeth
Put the part in my hair
And shined that Apple
Ready as ever my teacher

So I got dressed
With new threads on
As I tied my shoes
Ready for teachers rules

So I look so good
Cause I know I'm cool
Yet I know I'm bad
Ready as an Eddie Haskel

So I ask the bus driver
"What holds the bus together?"
"The nut behind the wheel!"
Ready as an Eddie Haskel

So the teacher gets the apple
Spitballs and passed notes
Knowing I look so good
I'm just an innocent 6 year old boy!!

Oh Sweet Lord
Born in humble glory
A new world saving
Shepherds guide the way

Our Sweet Lord
Land beyond holds your fate
Curved by nature's grace
Topped by man's hand

Please Sweet Lord
Forgive our blindness
Bless us to see
A baby to heal us

You Sweet Lord
The shelter of life
The nature of time
The Shepherd guides us

My Sweet Lord
Shepherd my life
Guide the way
Out of the blindness

There is a Man
With his world, his wife
Transported by wheels
Fueled by love
A world unknown
By gods design
Laugh or cry
Smiles are a Motown beat
There lives a Man
Along with his love
Transported by wheels
Fueled by love
In a world unknown
To let you and me Know
Life is a complex love
Hearts bound in pride
Two hearts rolling as one
Fueled by love
Transported by wheels
Fueled by love
