Did the kind of things that make you feel alright
They say, hey everybody at the old schoolyard
And they're knocking back till the 4th of July
Twenty four hours getting to my door
We say, hey everybody at the old schoolyard
Took it all the way and we took it hard
Tell the kind of things that make you feel alright
We showed each other how to feel alive
And I had a hard time, yeah, I had a hard time
Did the kind of things that make you feel alright
And my daddy hit me but he couldn't quit me
And my mama had me but she didn't get me
Took it all the way and we took it hard
I guess I broke her at the age of five
Hey everybody at the old schoolyard
Did the kind of things that make you feel alright
Said the kind of things that keep you up at night
There wasn't anything I could do
Just ask somebody if you don't believe me
Said the kind of things that keep you up at night
Oh, just like every single kid I knew
It was a small town but it didn't fit me
Took it all the way and we took it hard
Not last night but the night before the
Took it all the way and we took it hard
So say, hey everybody at the old schoolyard
They don't fall far and they don't fall hard
And so I had my guitar and I took it with me
Said the kind of things that keep you up at night
