[Verse 1]
I got a dollar from my dad
From workin' in the yard
Now I'm standin' on the pedals
My spokes are singin' from the cards
You know I'm gonna get some ice cream
Flyin' down the hill
I gotta make the green light
If I push it hard I will
[Chorus]
But you know loose gravel on the road
Sometimes it doesn't show
This is my chance to take
[Verse 2]
An' there's a window full of faces
Inside the Tastee Freeze
I know I should be slowin' down, slowin' down
But instead I'm gainin' speed
I'm gonna leave a big skid mark
Halfway down the street
The red-haired punk on the silver Schwinn
Man, they'll remember me
[Chorus]
But you know loose gravel on the road
Sometimes it doesn't show
This is my chance to take, Yeaaaaah
Loose gravel on the road
Sometimes ya gotta go
This is my chance to take
[Bridge 1]
I thought I had a coaster brake
Yeah I thought I had coaster brake
[Instrumental]
[Bridge 2]
Now I'm ridin' through my hometown
I just can't believe
How much this place has changed
They tore down the Tastee Freeze
I see a dirty-face kid
Where the driveway meets the road
As I helped him up a-with his bike
I saw Cecil Cooper in his spokes
[Chorus]
And the kid says loose gravel on the road
Sometimes it doesn't show
This is my chance to take, Yeahhhhh
Loose gravel on the road
Sometimes man ya gotta go, go, go, go
This is my chance to take
[Outro]
Next time, I'll keep my foot off the brake
Man, next time, I'll keep my of the brake
