Are You Ready to Fly?

Teenagers jumping off a railroad
 They've known each other since they were kids
 It's the end of the summer, good friends ready to fly
 They do the cannonball into the creek
 They'll do the cannonball one more week
 At the end of the summer, good friends saying goodbye
 They were riding double on bicycles
 Buying bubble gum and vying for the sun
 And the summer was so long 'til the summer was so gone
 Your sister went to college in the fall
 She took her posters off the bedroom wall
 And your family drove all night from the university
 And in the morning looking down the hall
 She left her trophies and a couple of dolls
 And your family would be alright 'cause you had to be
 You were riding double on bicycles
 Buying bubble gum and vying for the sun
 And the summer was so long 'til the summer was so gone
 On we go down crooked roads alone to who knows where
 Burning in this moment like a sparkler in mid-air
 When you are jumping off a railroad
 No one can tell you what living is
 At the end of the summer, are you ready to fly?
 We were riding double on bicycles
 Buying bubble gum and vying for the sun
 And the summer was so long 'til the summer was so gone
