Double Scoop Dream

Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Woke up before the heat hit the pavement
Marked a line in the dry summer dirt
Strong tea in the cup and eggs on the side
Buckled my belt with a brand new kind of pride
I walked past the bakery with my head held high
That chocolate circle didn’t even catch my eye
But I heard a whisper from behind the glass
Asking me where I was going so fast

[Chorus]
Oh it’s a happy day when the walls come down
(Happy day)
All those good intentions melting on the floor
(Melting away)
I beat the cookie and the donut in the sun
But the man in the truck knew my name all along
(He knew it all along)

[Verse 2]
Down at the gas station by the rusted sign
A glazed outlaw was looking mighty fine
Spun around slow on a plastic tray
Like a siren trying to lead me astray
I told that sugar sneak to step aside
I’ve got too much grit and too much pride
Stared it down right there in the aisle
Left it wondering about my cooling smile

[Chorus]
Oh it’s a happy day when the walls come down
(Happy day)
All those good intentions melting on the floor
(Melting away)
I beat the cookie and the donut in the sun
But the man in the truck knew my name all along
(He knew it all along)

[Bridge]
Then a jingle came drifting through the heavy air
Like a melody from a year I thought was gone
The white paint flashed and the chocolate swirled
And my knees just gave out on the curb
I tried to fight but I won’t pretend
That’s where my willpower met its end
One scoop turned into a full-blown show
I’m just a passenger with nowhere else to go

[Chorus]
Oh it’s a happy day when the walls come down
(Happy day)
All those good intentions melting on the floor
(Melting away)
I beat the cookie and the donut in the sun
But the man in the truck knew my name all along
(He knew it all along)

[Outro]
The ice cream man is hauling me away
(Hauling me away)
Didn’t even scream as I left the street
Just a double scoop vision in the heat
(Double scoop vision)
(Happy day)
Everything is melting now
(Happy day)
Yeah he knew it all along
(He knew)
(He knew)
(He knew)
