Verse 1:
I just realized I left my favorite hat at the club last night
Which sickened me right off cause I
Had that cap since real-real small
Then find out just right now
That my main squeeze went through my phone
Oooo
So I guess I m single now
-
Imagine that

Verse 2:
So I sneak right on The T
The conductor sees me
He s kicking me right off with a frown
I grab my bag and I walk on
Comm. Ave., I hit up Blanchard s
They sell cheap wine, I got six bucks
Bag rip, wine smash
Drink it up avoid the glass
Chorus:
But I can t stop from just smiling
When that damn sun is shining on
Hell, It s just
Shining down all over me
No, I can t help but just smile
While that damn sun is shining on
Dang it s just shining down
Down over me
Verse 3:
So now I call up my friend
Cause his girl must be bored, cause
She s been spreading rumors about me
That I robbed her party, but I never had
I pull out my little disc man
I bought from a crackhead down in Reno
But my Melt-Ba-na-na CD
Is all scratched up
Chorus 2:
I think it s stupid all the people who are moaning
Yeah moaning on
While the sun is shining down
On our city streets
Even all the things people say
Naw, ain t affecting me
Not when that damn sun
Is shining down over me
Bridge: (strum)
Shining down on me
(x3)
Born to just never care [x3]
About the stupid things
People moan everyday
Verse 4:
So later on I meet Johnny Trouble
At a bar called Shay s, a spit from Charlie s
We sit outside talking bout girls
How they re loons but we like them anyway
No money for pints at the bar
We bring a backpack full of Pabst
Oooo
Under the table we fill our glass
Chorus 3:
So me and Johnny just sit outside
Warmed by that summer night
While those city stars are shining
Down on our streets
And I can t help from just smiling
While those damn stars are shining down
Yeah those stars are shining
Over our city streets
Chorus 4:
No, I won t be caught moaning
Not when light is still shining down
And me and Johnny
Warmed by that damn summer heat
And I can t stop from just smiling
When those damn stars are shining on
Yeah, those stars are shining
Over our city streets
