Apache (Jump On It) - The Sugarhill Gang

With a bunch of strangers who all share my name Gathered at the graveside in the pouring rain Never thought I'd find myself back here again Yet, here I am standing in the lane Got a lotta pieces missing in my past Never really noticed time was moving so fast So many questions that I wanted to ask But I let all my chances slip past They slip past Pass it on, pass it on Teach them the words of your song Voices fall silent but memories live on Those we remеmber are nevеr gone Never gone A wooden box of trinkets in the drawer by the bed A dusty sheaf of letters from people now dead A lock of golden hair cut from a baby's head And so many things left unsaid Be they sentimental or deeply profound All the things we've hidden will one day be found The riches of a family cannot be weighed in pounds But in the stories that they can hand down Hand 'em down Pass it on, pass it on Teach them the words of your song Voices fall silent but memories live on Those we remember are never gone Pass it on, pass it on Teach them the words of your song Voices fall silent but memories live on Those we remember are never gone Never gone

Snap backs and levi jeans, Pbr and burnt CDs Running for the grass on the hot concrete Still working on our summer feet Cheap gas and ready ice, Trunk music and headlight fights Dodging smoke from a riverbank fire Pretty girl and a pickup line like "Hey what's your name, you know smoke follows beauty baby" We stayed up all night long Made our drinks too strong Feeling ten feet tall Ropes swinging into the water In the middle of the night Like oh-oh-oh oh oh Breaking our boots in Stompin' in the ground we grew up on Yeah, we were raised on it Worked hard and played on it We had it made on it We were born and raised on it Car wash at the custom tent Sticky quarters and pine tree scent The only sign that we ever got stuck Is the muddy chain in the back of the truck 5-1's with a 20 on top Three guard at the barber shop Duckin' from your ex at the 4 way stop Turn the music down when you're passing the cops We stayed up all night long Made our drinks too strong Feeling ten feet tall Ropes swinging into the water In the middle of the night Like oh-oh-oh oh oh Breaking our boots in Stompin' in the ground we grew up on Yeah, we were raised on it Mama's prayer and daddy's speech Front porch philosophies A Little too young and dumb to see Just what it all meant to me We stayed up all night long Made our drinks too strong Feeling ten feet tall Ropes swinging into the water In the middle of the night Like oh-oh-oh oh oh Breaking our boots in Stompin' in the ground we grew up on Yeah, we were raised on it

We used to be lovin', touchin', kissin' Like our lives depend on it How we get to lyin', cryin', always fightin' Like our lives depend on it Oh, there you go, putting words in my mouth It's 'bout to go down I'm not ready yet, there's still a thread left If I could just hold on, onto unravelling hope Give it one last go, I don't know why just need us to try Do or don't we find a way to get back That thing we used to have that Ooh, I'd need you now We used to be lovin', touchin', kissin' Like our lives depend on it How we get to lyin', cryin', always fightin' Like our lives depend on it Why you lookin' at me with angry eyes How we ever gon' make it out alive If we don't get back to lovin', touchin', kissin' Like our lives depend on it How could I know, what you had hiding there Behind those fire eyes, but I'll make it worse with my wild words And ooh, I've done it now We used to be lovin', touchin', kissin' Like our lives depend on it How we get to lyin', cryin', always fightin' Like our lives depend on it Why you lookin' at me with angry eyes How we ever gon' make it out alive If we don't get back to lovin', touchin', kissin' Like our lives depend on it Why you lookin' at me with angry eyes How we ever gon' make it out alive If we don't get back to lovin', touchin', squeezin' and f- Like our lives depend on it
