In the shade of Shelfer Street
Playin’ in that summer heat
I wore blisters on my feet
Then I’d sleep with my windows open wide
And a good feelin’ down deep inside
Man I really had it made in the shade of Shelfer Street
It’s where I used to dream real big
Pretend I was Billy the Kid
Mamma never worried ‘bout me
That’s how life used to be
In the shade of Shelfer Street
Playin’ in that summer heat
I wore blisters on my feet
Then I’d sleep with my windows open wide
And a good feelin’ down deep inside
Man I really had it made in the shade of Shelfer Street
It’s where we learned to play together
And we looked out for one another
And I could have stayed forever
Forever
In the shade of Shelfer Street
Just playin’ in that summer heat
I wore blisters on my feet
Then I’d sleep with my windows open wide
And a good feelin’ down deep inside
Man I really had it made
I said man I really had it made in the shade of Shelfer Street
Shelfer Street
