Red Rover in July

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Red rover in July
grass burns on my knees
Dust on my tongue
from the gravel and the heat
Jarts stuck in the yard
like flags in foreign lands
Somebody’s mom yelled “supper!”
we pretended we didn’t understand

[Chorus]
We were kings of that cracked old street
bare feet, skinned hearts, concrete
Calling “do over” when the world felt bad
laughing till the dark came fast
If I close my eyes, I still can hear us call
in that small town
I thought was all there was
and it was all I’d ever want

[Verse 2]
Hot box after school
on the chain-link diamond line
Glove marks on my palms
orange dust in my mind
Tag under porch light
moths chasing every throw
Driveway basketball
till the hoop was just a shadow

[Chorus]
We were kings of that cracked old street
bare feet, skinned hearts, concrete
Calling “do over” when the world felt bad
laughing till the dark came fast
If I close my eyes, I still can hear us call
in that small town
I thought was all there was
and it was all I’d ever want

[Bridge]
Rust on the bikes
names in the bark
We swore we’d leave
then missed the mark
Every little game
felt ten feet tall
Funny what you lose
just driving past it all

[Chorus]
We were kings of that cracked old street
bare feet, skinned hearts, concrete
Calling “do over” when the world felt bad
laughing till the dark came fast
If I close my eyes, I still can hear us call
in that small town
I thought was all there was
and it was all I’d ever want
