lyrics

August faded, no longer shaded, old Ely's boathouse at night
Too young to drive home, walking all alone, down the bay road
moonlight
Sitting ducks floating on the frozen bay The things you do at thirteen
to pass the time away
All is right, what a life

Growing through changes, everyday is, another mystery found
Girls and music. they pull you through it, and someday soon you'll
leave that town
Don't seem like much, just that little that you've got, but it's gonna be
enough, believe it or not
All is right, what a life

Don't even have a dollar in your dirty hands, and that's too bad says
your old man
His eyes so cold, that his face you cannot stand
But Mother made up for it in the end

Rhymes keep rolling, they can't be stolen, childhood happiness
that was a long time, now locked safe in your mind, the faces and places
are quite fresh
All those dreams that lit up in the dark, some are dead, some still live on in
your heart
All is right, what a life
