I was walking down the street Looking at my feet I didn't have no shoes On the way to school Looking at the fool And everybody knew But it was all right 'Cause my friends of mine Knew I had a guitar They knew I would play Become a big star And I would go so far Remember the times When I didn't have a dime We remember the times When I didn't have a dime Those were the best days Going down the street playing at the mall On the cheap bikes Looking for somebody to steel Somebody to rob and somebody to fight I didn't know my name as well As I knew my friends But I knew we were so cool Everybody wanted to play by their own rules We didn't go to school Remember the time When I didn't have a dime I remember the times When I didn't have a dime Those were the best days By the times I was 14 or 15 Trying to pass my driving test The thing to do was to drive to school 'Cause I could never win for best dressed I drove a raggedy car To sneaking to the bars Young boy life has no stress Watching cartoon And popping balloons That was the best Remember the times When I didn't have a dime I remember the times When I didn't have a dime Those were the best days
