The sights and sounds that fell all around your feet
Red white and blue, know everything true
All turn to gold, line the sidewalks of your street
People come and go, where to no one knows
The summer sun will set, won't stay too long
Don't hide your eyes, greet the world outside
So waste your breath and fill your lungs with songs
Songs you used to know, the ones your daddy showed you
Kiss your wrist and ask no one the time
Stay up late getting drunk off that Dandelion Wine

Now your shoes all worn, your shirt all tucked in safe
Tucked down inside, still got nothing right
Your hands all cracked, can't help but show their age
Worn to the bone, spent polishing stones
You showed up small but you grew too tall to walk
Bent and afraid, everything has changed
Now you curse the kids that hang around your block
All they do is talk, the ones that time forgot
Check your wrist and ask someone the time
Can't remember getting drunk off that Dandelion Wine
