Unaware eyes slowly opened each day
Without a care not knowing it would all change
In the pass of a car or cloud in the sky
The end of the road was nowhere

'Cause Cal would come around in his "Luvy's" truck
We'd chase him down without a dollar to pay
Up & down the same blocks we'd ride
Shoulder to shoulder, side by side
The weight wasn't the world on our shoulders
It sure wasn't to get a degree
Was getting the girl you'd get over
And that boss fight we all couldn't beat

They tried so hard to calm us down
But none of us would comply
To this day we all find our way back
And we all think the same thing
As we're

(Cruisin' down Roosevelt)
Times changed like everyone else did
(Cruisin' down Roosevelt)
But never did the memories that lie on the pavement
Way back when life wasn't so hard
I'll always remember while I ride down the boulevard
(Crusin' down Roosevelt)

Yeah we'd cackle in bad situations
And kiss camp girls behind trees
We'd huddle together when times could've been better
Nobody could touch one of us
Some things in town just never changed
Like the Sears sign on 17
All the years they could maintain it, they slipped away
And it became a staple- it'd always remain

Like Crazy Mike on mischief night
Or the bridge you'd walk across Beverwyck
Could always cut behind Helen & Lloyd's
Around the corner there we'd be
Makin' some noise as we're

(Cruisin' down Roosevelt)
Times changed like everyone else did
(Cruisin' down Roosevelt)
But never did the memories that lie on the pavement
Way back when life wasn't so hard
I'll always remember while I ride down the boulevard
(Crusin' down Roosevelt)
Bring it down

Jeremy's a union man and Dylan's in a new band
Marco's in Manhattan and I never would've guessed
Joey Kuhn would join a frat
And Nick would write something like that
Jason would be takin' snaps and Justin's sponsored makin' cash
Cinnante he's an EMT and Mikey's seein' Esmy
Reveille's up at Quinnipiac and Matt quit bein' quarterback
It's wild to think once in our lives
We all walked the same direction
Innocence was our weapon when reality stepped in
We laughed so hard we cried

(Cruisin' down Roosevelt)
Times changed like everyone else did
(Cruisin' down Roosevelt)
But never did the memories that lie on the pavement
Way back when life wasn't so hard
Take me 'round one more time for a ride down the boulevard
(Crusin' down Roosevelt)
Yeah

But well aware eyes close every night
With every care in the world, every fear in mind
No matter how many texts sent or facetime calls
Boys just know I always think of you all
