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
