Nobody’s got to be right

Nobody’s got to be right Used to hang out together nearly every single day Weather didn’t matter we found something to play A couple of kids on bikes, riding with no hands trying hard to look cool Lazy summers saw us playing, got them swaying, sunning by the pool Long summer days, deeds that could’ve made a sailor blush at night Behind those smiles, nobody’s got to be wrong, nobody’s got to be right Grown up games away to grown up schools Switch it up down south a bit, bending the rules Those Falls boys cause a stir, a trail of tears and a mighty cloud of smoke Tell me folks how do you like us now? Hard to sort like two pigs in a poke Just when you think you saw it all Paula wheels down the hall banging everything in sight Was kind of our motto from the beginning, nobody’s got to be wrong, nobody’s got to be right Time went ahead, we went apart; something got lost out on your grotto Too far southwest, sun baked sympathy dried out and busted our motto Pointing fingers, backing hate, look hard at the evil you create, do you see yourself Do you see Wells, do you see Kell’s, you made our memories living hell! Look on your shelf I’m sure you kept mementos that your sister put together, back when we were still tight On dirt bikes, flipping off the world saying, nobody’s got to be wrong, nobody’s got to be right Cause it’s not about that, cross my heart and swear to God above It’s all about a couple kids having each other’s back, it’s all about love… Tim Windisch 03/01/2024
