Well the kid and me   were the team to beat   We could stand up to the big boys   generate some heat   And we never thought nothin' about   livin on the street back then    Yes sir, we lied a little   and we maybe stole some, sayin'   "Southern California here we come"   and we took off down the highway sayin'   "Never goin' back again"     (chorus)   It was on the first day of summer  (first day of summer)   we were the number one outfront runner  (first day of summer)   On the first day of summer   nothin' feels the same   and it feels so good   It was on the first day of summer   (first day of summer)   It was on the first day of summer  (first day of summer)   On the first day of summer   the whole world knows your name   and it feels so good     Now the kid was drivin'   and I rode shotgun   We were splittin' up the money   from our number ones   beatin' time to the radio   Yes I'm gonna be someone     Campin' by the road   out in Santa Fe   The kid stole the keys   and he drove away   I wound up washin' dishes   at a Holiday Inn   Sometimes I wonder   what became of him     (chorus to fade)    these lyrics are submitted by mta_mta
