Pop Works in the Shop Til Eight

Mom's On the Phone and She's Kind of Irate

Sally's Doing Sommersaults On the Lawn

Pop Slams Open the Front Screen Door

Just to Scare Mom

She Says, "What the Hell Did You do That For?"

He Washes His Dirty Hands in the Sink

And Things Around the Table Are Kind of Rough

Mom Says It's Pa

Pa Says, "The Times Are Just Tough"

And Me and Sally Don't Say Much of Nothing At All

The Garage Door Light Brightens Up the Night

Pa Always Works On Cars When He Gets in a Fight

As Though He Could Figure Out That Woman By Working On That

Old Car

He Said a Car Can Cure Any Problem At All

Cause of Looking At All Them Parts Makes a Fight Look So Small

But I Wish He'd Just Put Me and Sally in the Backseat And

Drive Us Away

That's When He Sits Me Down

He Says He's Gonna Teach Me About Life

He Said, "A Man Needs a Car and a Boy Needs a Bike"

I Got My First Taste of Freedom Beneath the Light of the Moon

But If It Were Me

I'd Have the Guts to Put to Test Those Bolts and Nuts

And I'd Ride Away So Fast, So Far

Ride Away... So Fast, So Far

Put Away Our Tools

We Go Back Inside

Mom Feels Left Out and Now She's Starting to Cry

I Wonder If All Girls Are Crazy This Way

I Wish Pops Would Just Get a Spine

I Said I Know It's Kind of Small But You Can Borrow Mine

He Just Smiled and Said, "Your Mom Means Well Son"

Most Times Are Good It's Just Some That Are Lean

But It's Love That Makes Up For Those Times in Beteween

He Got a Tear in His Eye As He Took Mamma's Hand

Said One Day I'd Understand

But If It Were Me

I'd Have the Guts to Put to Test Those Bolts and Nuts

And I'd Ride Away So Far, So Fast

Ride Away So Fast So Far

Ride Away

Garoto Precisa De Uma Bicicleta (Correr Por Aí)

Pop Trabalha Numa Loja Até As Oito

A Mamãe Está no Telefone Um Pouco Irada

Sally Está Dando Cambalhotas na Grama

Pop Entra Violentamente Pela Porta da Frente

Apenas Para Assustar a Mãe

Ela Diz: "Pra Que Diabos Você Fez Isso?"

Ele Lava Suas Mãos Imundas na Pia

E As Coisas em Volta da Mesa Ficam Um Tanto Desagradáveis

Mamãe Diz Que é Culpa do Papai

Papai Diz: "Os Tempos Estão Difíceis"

E Eu e Sally Não Falamos Muito Sobre o Assunto

A Porta da Garagem Brilha à Noite

Papai Sempre Trabalha Nos Carros Quando Entra Numa Briga

Como Se Ele Pudesse Imaginar Aquela Mulher Trabalhando Naquele Carro Velho

Ele Disse Que Um Carro Pode Curar Qualquer Problema

Porque, Genericamente, Faz Com Que Uma Luta Pareça Tão Pequena

Mas Eu Queria Que Ele Apenas Colocasse Eu e Sally no Banco De Trás e Nos Levasse Para Passear Por Aí

É Quando Ele Me Faz Sentar

E Diz Que Vai Me Ensinar Sobre a Vida

Ele Diz: "Um Homem Precisa De Um Carro e Um Garoto Precisa De Uma Bicicleta"

Tive Meu Primeiro Gosto De Liberdade Sob a Luz da Lua

Mas Se Fosse Eu

Eu Teria Coragem De Colocar à Prova Parafusos e Porcas

E Teria Corrido Por Aí Bem Rápido e Para Bem Longe

Correr Por Aí... Tão Rápido e Para Tão Longe...

Guardo Nossas Ferramentas

Nós Voltamos Para Dentro

Mamãe Se Sente Esquecida e Agora Ela Começa a Chorar

Eu Me Pergunto Se Todas As Garotas São Loucas Deste Jeito

Eu Queria Que Pop Pudesse Apenas Pegar Uma Espinha

Eu Disse: "Eu Sei Que Isso é Pouco, Mas Você Pode Pedir a Minha Emprestada"

Ele Apenas Sorriu e Disse: "Sua Mãe Tem Boas Intenções, Filho"

A Maior Parte do Tempo é Boa, é Apenas Algo no Qual Nos Apoiamos

Mas é o Amor Que Prepara Para Todos Os Tempos

Ele Tem Uma Lágrima no Seu Olho, Assim Que Pega a Mão da Mamãe

Ele Diz: "Um Dia Eu Entenderia"

Mas Se Fosse Eu

Eu Teria Coragem De Colocar à Prova Parafusos e Porcas

E Teria Corrido Por Aí Bem Rápido e Para Bem Longe

Correr Por Aí... Tão Rápido e Para Tão Longe...

Correr Por Aí...
