Kick the Can Songtext
von James Maddock

Poured a beer in the afternoon
See the water condensing
On the side of the glass
As it catches the light

It′s almost a living thing
It's breathing and dancing
Constantly moving as you watch it up close
Constantly moving as you watch it up close

Found some keys in a leather coat
I don′t know what they open
What it is, is probably broken and empty too
Put the kids in the Subaru
Took 'em off to the movies
Everybody laughing when I drove 'em home
Everybody was laughing when I drove ′em home


Kick the can down the street
Kick it with your two left feet
As the crowd rise from their seats
Kick the can
Put a dent in its side
As you launch it into the sky
Cross the rooftops watch it fly
Kick the can for me

If you can stand up and take a peek
Take the air in the morning
Appreciate the sun and the wind (and the rain) in your eyes
The skin of another there
Resting beside you
Watching her chest rise and fall
Watching her chest as it rises and falls

Kick the can down the street
Kick it with your two left feet
As the crowd rise from their seats
Kick the can
Put a dent in its side
As you launch it into the sky
Cross the rooftops watch it fly
Kick the can

If you can sing a song and dance a lick
Make a little girl laugh with a magic trick
See the beauty in a flying tin
Play a game you′ll never win


See the tin can sitting there
Kind of asking the question
Challenging your perception of who you are
In a year I'll be 85
Where does the time go?
It doesn′t seem real but I know it is
It doesn't seem real but I know it is

Kick the can down the street
Kick it with your two left feet
As the crowd rise from their seat
Kick the can
Put a dent in its side
As you launch it into the sky
Cross the rooftops watch it fly
Kick the can for me
Kick the can for me
