“Green Sneakers and The Boy Who Owns Them”
Jimmy owns a pair of bright green sneakers
he wears them when he walks to the store
and he wears them when he carries his girlfriend
into his room for her when her feet get sore
Jimmy likes to waste an afternoon with his headphones
baking in the summer sun sitting on top of his roof
sunsets bring him the greatest of joy
only a little behind the smile that she wears
when she gets lost and cant tell the difference
between a lie and the truth when she hears it
yeah yeah Jimmy he likes to make her feel beautiful
he’s going to let her wear his favourite RAGE tee shirt
and sit in his room with her and play on his guitar and sing
yeah yeah he’s going to sing so loud and clear for her
then while they are basking in the afterglow once again
both of them in his bed half naked and sharing a joint
his mom isn’t due home for at least another six hours
so he can rid the walls of this smell by that time
but right now Jimmy ain’t thinking about the smell or his mom
no this girl on his arm has got his mind and his heart so tight
he runs his hand through her hair for a few minutes
and whispers into her ear the poem he wrote for her the night before
and she turns over and sends her love to him and kisses his lips
strokes back his hair gazes into his deep brown eyes
and she smiles
oh how she smiles is more of a smirk this time
she is having trouble believing that this is all real
this boy with bright green sneakers and long black hair
love in his eyes and flowers in his hair
he plays guitar and sings
and listens to a little bit too much Led Zeppelin
for his own good
yeah Jimmy owns a pair of green sneakers
and Jimmy is in love with the most beautiful girl to ever
to ever walk on this earth or any other sphere
that has the ability and the proper conditions to hold life
Jimmy likes to waste and afternoon with his headphones
baking in the summer sun sitting on top of his roof
and sometimes she joins him up there
yeah sometimes she likes to join him
way up there…….
