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
