Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I got a dollar from my dad

From workin in the yard

Now Im standin on the pedals

My spokes are singin from the cards

You know Im gonna get some ice cream

Flyin down the hill

I gotta make the green light

If I push it hard I will

[CHORUS]
But you know loose gravel on the road

Sometimes it doesnt show

This is my chance to take

[Verse 2]
An' theres a window full of faces

Inside the Tastee Freeze

I know I should be slowin down, slowin down

But instead Im gainin' speed

Im gonna leave a big skid mark

Halfway down the street

The red-haired punk on the silver Schwinn

Man, theyll remember me.

[CHORUS]
But you know loose gravel on the road

Sometimes it doesnt show

This is my chance to take, Yeaaaaah

Loose gravel on the road

Sometimes ya gotta go

This is my chance to take

[Bridge 1]
I thought I had a coaster brake

Yeah I thought I had coaster brake

[Instrumental]

[Bridge 2]
Now Im ridin through my hometown

I just cant believe

How much this place has changed

They tore down the Tastee Freeze

I see a dirty-face kid

Where the driveway meets the road

As I helped him up a-with his bike

I saw Cecil Cooper in his spokes

[CHORUS]
And the kid says loose gravel on the road

Sometimes it doesnt show

This is my chance to take, Yeahhhhh

Loose gravel on the road

Sometimes man ya gotta go, go, go, go

This is my chance to take

[Outro]
Next time, Ill keep my foot off the brake

Man, next time, Ill keep my of the brake
