Remember the Times
Lucy Pearl Lyrics

I was walking down the street
I was casually strolling down the street, just taking in my surroundings.

Looking at my feet
I was not looking ahead, instead, I was looking down at the ground in front of me.

I didn't have no shoes
At that time, I was not wearing any footwear on my feet.

On the way to school
I was heading towards my school for the day.

Looking at the fool
As I looked around, I noticed other people on the street who were acting foolishly.

And everybody knew
Other people passing by were able to observe these foolish individuals as well.

But it was all right
Despite the foolishness and chaos around us, everything was okay.

'Cause my friends of mine
This was because I was with my good friends who I trusted and enjoyed spending time with.

Knew I had a guitar
My friends were aware that I owned a guitar.

They knew I would play
They also knew that I loved playing the guitar.

Become a big star
My friends believed in me and thought that I had potential to become a famous musician.

And I would go so far
They were confident that I would succeed and make it big in the music industry.

Remember the times
Let's reminisce about the past together.

When I didn't have a dime
I want to reflect on a time when I didn't have any money.

We remember the times
Let's remember those moments together, as friends.

When I didn't have a dime
Again, I would like to specifically recall a time when I was broke.

Those were the best days
Despite the financial struggles, that time period holds great memories for me.

Going down the street playing at the mall
I fondly recall performing music at the mall, walking around and sharing my talents with anyone who would listen.

On the cheap bikes
My friends and I would ride around on inexpensive bicycles.

Looking for somebody to steal
We would go around searching for things to take that weren't ours.

Somebody to rob and somebody to fight
Sometimes, we would even get into altercations with others, whether through stealing or fighting.

I didn't know my name as well
At that age, I wasn't as concerned with my identity or defining myself.

As I knew my friends
I valued my friendships above all else and they were an important part of my life.

But I knew we were so cool
Despite our mischief and troublemaking, I thought my friends and I were pretty awesome.

Everybody wanted to play by their own rules
We were rebellious teenagers who didn't want to follow the norms or rules of society.

We didn't go to school
Somehow, we managed to skip school and spend our time doing other things instead.

By the times I was 14 or 15
Around the ages of 14 or 15 is when all of this was occurring.

Trying to pass my driving test
I was attempting to pass my driving test during this time period.

The thing to do was to drive to school
A popular activity for teens was to drive themselves to school in their own cars.

'Cause I could never win for best dressed
I wasn't the most fashionable person, so driving was another way to feel cool.

I drove a raggedy car
My car was in poor condition, but I didn't mind because it was something I could call my own.

To sneaking to the bars
Occasionally, I would sneak into bars, possibly underage, to hang out with friends.

Young boy life has no stress
As a young boy, life felt carefree and easy without too many responsibilities or worries.

Watching cartoon
While growing up, one of my favorite pastimes was watching cartoons and animated shows.

And popping balloons
Another fun activity was popping balloons for entertainment.

That was the best
Those innocent, simple activities were some of the highlights of my childhood.

When I didn't have a dime
Once again, I want to focus on a time period when I didn't have any money.

I remember the times
I am reflecting back on the time when I was young and less concerned with material possessions.

When I didn't have a dime
Not having much money is a common thread throughout my memories.

Those were the best days
Despite the lack of funds, my youth still holds some of my fondest and most cherished memories.
