Wild & Free Songtext
von Abbie Thomas

Juice cut with water
Trick of the trade
When you′re not made

Of dollars
Don't let your kids see you sweat
In the lowest tax bracket
No shame

Lettuce and mayo on bread
Kept us kids fed


Cut off jean shorts in the summer
Gotta do what you gotta do, to cut a corner
Livin′ within' our means
Was a necessity
In the summer of '93
Smallest house on Gregg Street
Better school to learn how to read
If I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn′t have been runnin′ round
All wild and free

Third generation, hand-me-downs
Just Handin' down
To learn to love what you′ve found

Had my mothers' envy
Of being free
Of responsibility

Lettuce and mayo on bread
Didn′t know what I was missin'

Cut off jean shorts in the summer
Gotta do what you gotta do, to cut a corner
Livin′ within' our means
Was a necessity
In the summer of '93
Smallest house on the richest street
Better school to learn how to read
If I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn′t have been runnin′ around
All wild and free


Generics a lifestyle
Cereals in a bag
How many kids
Can you fit in a station wagon
Red tag
Red tag
Red tag, sale

Cut off jean shorts in the summer
Gotta do what you gotta do, to cut a corner
Livin' within′ our means
Was a necessity
In the summer of '93
Smallest house on Gregg Street
Better school to learn how to read
If I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn′t have been runnin' round
All wild and free
