Boy Needs A Bike Lyrics - Picking Up The Pieces - Jewel

Pop works in the shop til eight 

Mom's on the phone and she's kind of irate 

Sally's doing sommersaults on the lawn 

Pop slams open the front screen door 

Just to scare mom 

She says, "what the hell did you do that for? " 

He washes his dirty hands in the sink 

And things around the table are kind of rough 

Mom says it's pa 

Pa says, "the times are just tough" 

And me and sally don't say much of nothing at all 

The garage door light brightens up the night 

Pa always works on cars when he gets in a fight 

As though he could figure out that woman by working on that 

Old car 

He said a car can cure any problem at all 

Cause of looking at all them parts makes a fight look so small 

But I wish he'd just put me and sally in the backseat and 

Drive us away 

That's when he sits me down 

He says he's gonna teach me about life 

He said, "a man needs a car and a boy needs a bike"

I got my first taste of freedom beneath the light of the moon 

But if it were me 

I'd have the guts to put to test those bolts and nuts 

And I'd ride away so fast, so far 

Ride away... so fast, so far 

Put away our tools 

We go back inside 

Mom feels left out and now she's starting to cry 

I wonder if all girls are crazy this way 

I wish pops would just get a spine 

I said I know it's kind of small but you can borrow mine 

He just smiled and said, "your mom means well son" 

Most times are good it's just some that are lean 

But it's love that makes up for those times in beteween 

He got a tear in his eye as he took mamma's hand 

Said one day I'd understand 

But if it were me 

I'd have the guts to put to test those bolts and nuts 

And I'd ride away so far, so fast 

Ride away so fast so far 

Ride away
