Hot Summer nights down on the strip We had nothing but time Way too cool to be hip Trying to get a grip on my teenage mind We come from industrial Cape Breton The sons and daughters of the mines We were flying too close to heaven Every Saturday night From old Kings Road we'd cruise downtown to see the girls on Charlotte Street They'd come from miles around They'd walk up and down in their painted on Jeans A slip of the tongue We had to run Billy lost a half ounce of weed Two broken ribs and a bloody nose That chevy was no match for that oak tree Oh when we'd get to the end We'd cruise back down and round again I'd pick up all of my friends And make those big ol back wheels spin An old bottle of hermit In a brown paper bag I thought we could make it We zigged we should've zagged I was going to meet my maker We were shooting the drag Shooting the drag Shooting the drag We were shooting the drag Now it's 2am I can't sleep I'm staring down at the telephone I drove by your house The lights were on but you were gone no one was home Those good old days it looks like they've Checked out packed up and they've moved on Gone without a trace lost in the race it's a Teenage Babylon When we'd get to the end We'd Cruise back down and round again I'd pick up all of my friends And Make those big ol back wheels spin An old bottle of hermit In a brown paper bag I thought we could make it We zigged we should've zagged I was going to meet my maker We were shooting the drag We were shooting the drag We were shooting the drag Shooting the drag We were shooting the drag
