Teenage Summer Days Lyrics - Singles - David Arthur Brown

Down on Pico and Fedora 

Back in 1983 

All the cholos on the corner 

Hid their pistols in the trees 

El Funny Clown lived off of Sunset 

On a street called Benton Way 

There were blood satins on the sidewalk 

But the rain washed them away 

On the mean streets of L.A. 

All those teenage summer days 

We took the bus way down to Venice 

Went bodysurfing in the waves 

Staring out at the horizon 

On those teenage summer days 

On the mean streets of L.A. 

All those teenage summer days 

My daddy was a trucker 

Hauling freight 12 hours a day 

Sometimes he'd take me down to Vernon 

Or the shipyards in South Bay 

On those teenage summer days 

On the mean streets of L.A.
