End of spring, just turned thirteen
Freedom deep as grass was green
That grew along the riverbank
Where we would sit and dream
Someone brought a boom box 'round
New cassettes kept playin' the sound
Of Jump and Heart o' Rock n Roll
It turned me upside down
Soakin' up the pine and sunshine, never feelin' poor
Shy and free and livin' things I'd never lived before
Learnin' about Jesus, learnin' even more
'Bout broken hearts and Rock n Roll, in nineteen-eighty four
There he was, just hangin' loose
California in mountain shoes
He chased castles made o' sand
And said good-bye too soon
We found there those teenage days
Deeper things and deeper ways
Than we had ever thought could be
That life was more than play
Soakin' up the pine and sunshine, never feelin' poor
Shy and free and livin' things I'd never lived before
Learnin' about Jesus, learnin' even more
'Bout broken hearts and Rock n Roll, in nineteen-eighty four
Only one short summer, will never fade away
How I love those moments, the days I was made
Soakin' up the pine and sunshine, never feelin' poor
Shy and free and livin' things I'd never lived before
Learnin' about Jesus, learnin' even more
'Bout broken hearts and Rock n Roll, in nineteen-eighty four
Soakin' up the pine and sunshine, never feelin' poor
Shy and free and livin' things I'd never lived before
Learnin' about Jesus, learnin' even more
'Bout broken hearts and Rock n Roll, in nineteen-eighty four
'Bout broken hearts and Rock n Roll, in nineteen-eighty four
