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 knew      But 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 far      Remember the times   When I didn't have a dime   We remember the times   When we didn't have a dime   Those were the best days      Going down the street   Playing at the mall on them cheap bikes   Looking for somebody to steal   Somebody to rob and somebody to fight      I 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 school      I 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 days      By 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 dressed      I drove a raggedy car to sneaking bars   Young boy life has no stress   Watching cartoons and popping balloons   That was the best      Remember 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
