Wonder Days

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
