Wonder Days

First day of school they called me a disgrace

They didn't like the long hair, didn't like the face

A whole lot of rules that had to be obeyed

Get back in the line and stand up straight

But I had my first guitar

And Hendrix on the wall

All of the kids hanging out in the yard

Platforms, feather cuts, dying to be hard

I wanted to be older, wanted to be cool

So I smoked by the gym and lied like a fool

Then came my first slow dance

Ooh and I thought I knew it all

Those wonder days of my life

When the summer seemed so long

I won't forget until I'm gone

Every minute lasted hours

We were misunderstood

Just looking for something to do

Just like every misfit, started up a band

Didn't have a clue and I didn't understand

Why all of a sudden, there were girls around

'Cause if truth be told, we could barely make a sound

I'm not one for looking back

But when I do I have to smile

Those wonder days of my life

When the summer seemed so long

I won't forget until I'm gone

Those wonder days of my life

When the summer seemed so long

I won't forget until I'm gone
