Tongue Canyon Road Lyrics

I like to ride my bicycle at night

When the streets are dark and cold

Down the Tongue Canyon Road

And I look in all the windows

At the people passing time and getting old

In the television glow

Dad put us on training wheels

In the church parking lot

And I got my first two wheeler

And he said that's how freedom feels

But stay on the sidewalks

And we'd ride everyday to school

In a pack of five or six

And we'd see who could go no handed

For the longest

I like to ride my bicycle at night

When the streets are dark and cold

Down the Tongue Canyon Road

And I look in all the windows

At the people passing time and getting old

In the television glow

Well I left and loved and moved around

Now I've got a kid and a truck and we're coming back to town

Where the streets are all the same

And I know the trees by name

And I used to ride passed Annie's house

Imagine what I'd do if she came out

Fix my hair glide real slow

Maybe she'd be at the window

I remember hoping Dad was asleep when I got home

Maybe there'd be something left on the stove

And in the morning light

He'd ask me where'd I'd been all night

I'd stand up straight talk real low

Tell him I'd been on my bicycle

I like to ride my bicycle at night

When the streets are dark and cold

Down the Tongue Canyon Road

And I look in all the windows

At the people passing time and getting old

In the television glow
