I was walking down the street
Looking at my feet, I didn't have no shoes
On the way to school
Looking like a fool and everybody knewBut it was alright
'Cause my friends of mine, knew I had a guitar
They knew I would play
Become a big star and I would go so farRemember the times
When I didn't have a dime
We remember the times
When we didn't have a dime
Those were the best daysGoing down the street
Playing at the mall on them cheap bikes
Looking for somebody to steal
Somebody to rob and somebody to fightI 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 schoolI remember the time
When we didn't have a dime
I remember the time
When we didn't have a dime
Those were the best daysBy this times I was fourteen or fifteen
Trying to pass my driver's test
The thing to do was to drive to school
'Cause I could never win for best dressedI drove a raggedy car to sneaking bars
Young boy life has no stress
Watching cartoons and popping balloons
That was the bestRemember 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
