The Bicycle


We stood and looked in the window
of the store just down the street
It was the greatest bicycle
Yeah, just every young boy’s dream
with a light on the handlebars
and flames painted on the side
I said “Dad, I really wish that bicycle was mine.”

Had those shiny chrome fenders
Yeah, just for everyone to see
And look what it says there dad
it says it comes with a ten-year guarantee
Yeah I would give anything
Yeah, you could take everything I ever had
No I never wanted anything so bad.

Well I could see that he was thinkin’
but was it “yes” or was it “no”.
Was it “Let’s talk about it later”
or maybe a “Maybe so”.
I said “Dad I’d do anything,
no I won’t ask you for nothin’ for the rest of my life
Oh I just really want that bike.

Cross my heart and hope to die,
Dad, I would stick a needle in my eye.”
