Everyone thinks I’ve been gone for too long I only went for a ride Down to the boulevard where I could see All of the windows and what was inside Me, I don’t know why she liked me It was a hayride, a day-ride or more I can’t remember the time It was a slow walk, a fast talk for sure We had an ice cream for only a dime We had the good time, she wanted We took a minute and in it I smiled There in the shade of the day She liked the man, I admired the child There was no other and no better way To spend a good day together
