When I grow up to be a man  
Will I dig the same things that turn me on as a kid?  
Will I look back and say that I wish I hadn’t done what I did?  
Will I joke around and still dig those sounds  
When I grow up to be a man?

I’m only fourteen, but I’m goin’ on fifteen  
But I wanna be sixteen, so I can get me a hot rod

I want a streamline chassis, man it’s gotta be classy  
I’m gonna give it that certain touch  
With a little bit of Von Dutch  
I found a real cute baby, she’s a real swingin’ baby  
And she says we’ll go steady just  
As soon as I get me a hot rod

And she’ll have fun, fun, fun  
'Til her daddy takes the T-Bird away

It’s cold outside  
There’s no kind of atmosphere  
I’m all alone, more or less  
Let me fly far away from here  
Fun fun fun, in the sun sun sun  
I want to lie, shipwrecked and comatose  
Drinking fresh mango juice  
Gold fish shoals nibbling at my toes  
Fun fun fun in the sun sun sun  
Fun fun fun in the sun sun sun

… I’m gonna soak up the sun  
I’m gonna tell everyone to lighten up (to lighten up)  
I’m gonna tell 'em that I’ve got no one to blame

Where they walk and I’ll walk  
They twist and I’ll twist  
They shimmy and I’ll shimmy  
They fly and I’ll fly  
Well, they’re out there a-havin’ fun  
In that warm California sun

I just ran away from home  
Now I’m going to Dizz Knee Land  
I just crashed my car again

Oh, but I’m always crashing  
In the same car

I saw the photograph  
He blew his mind out in a car  
He didn’t notice that the lights had changed  
A crowd of people stood and stared

If I had ever been here before  
I would probably know just what to do  
Don’t you?

If I had ever been here before  
On another time around the wheel  
I would probably know just how to deal  
With all of you

Winter is here again, oh Lord  
Haven’t been home in a year or more  
I hope she holds on a little longer  
Sent a letter on a long summer day  
Made of silver, not of clay  
Ooh, I’ve been runnin’ down this dusty road

Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin’  
I don’t know where I’ll be tomorrow  
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin’

Wishin’ and hopin’ and thinkin’ and prayin’  
Plannin’ and dreamin’ each night of his charms  
That won’t get you into his arms  
So if you’re lookin’ to find love you can share  
All you gotta do is hold him, and kiss him and love him  
And show him that you care

I had to meet you here today  
There’s just so many things to say  
Please don’t stop me till I’m through  
This is something I hate to do

We’ve been meeting here so long  
I guess what we done, oh, was wrong  
Please darlin’, don’t you cry  
Let’s just kiss and say goodbye (goodbye)

You stand behind me with a watch in your hand

No no no no no no

I found out long ago  
It’s a long way down the holiday road  
Holiday road  
Holiday road

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick  
Take a ride on the West Coast kick  
Holiday road  
Holiday road
