Nostalgic Days: Jack Johnson's Mudfootball Memories
Lyrics
Saturday morning and it's time to go
Getting ready to leave on a Saturday morning
One day these could be the days but who could have known
These days might become significant, but it was unforeseen
Loading in the back of a pickup truck
Loading things into a truck
Riding with the boys and pushing the luck
Traveling with friends and taking risks
Singing songs loud on the way to the game
Singing loudly while heading to the game
Wishing all the things could still be the same
Desiring things to remain unchanged
Chinese home runs over the backstop
A playful reference to hits in baseball
Kakua on the ball and soda pop well
Mentions a local Hawaiian name on the ball and enjoying soda
We used to laugh a lot
There was a lot of laughter in the past
But only because we thought
Laughing was based on the assumption that good times would persist
That everything good always would remain
Belief that everything positive would endure
Ain't nothing gonna change, there's no need to complain
Optimism that nothing significant would change, no need to be unhappy
Sunday morning and it's time to go
Another morning, preparing to leave
Been raining all night so everybody knows
Rain throughout the night, everyone's aware
Over to the field for tackle football
Going to play tackle football
Big hits, big hats, yeah give me the ball
Excitement for impactful moments and wanting involvement
Rain is pouring, touchdown scoring
Despite rain, scoring touchdowns, keeping things dynamic
Keep on rolling, never boring
Continuing without monotony
Karma, karma, karma chameleon
Referencing a popular song, possibly indicating unpredictable conversations
We're talking kinda funny from helium
Talking in a comical, high-pitched manner due to helium
We used to laugh a lot
Recalling past laughter
But only because we thought
Laughing due to the belief in the continuity of positivity
That everything good always would remain
Expectation that everything good would persist
Ain't nothing gonna change, there's no need to complain
Reiteration that nothing significant will change, no need for discontent
Monday morning and it's time to go
Beginning of another week, preparing to leave
Wet trunks and schoolbooks and sand on my toes
Describing wet conditions and school-related items
Do anything you can to dodge the bus-stop blues
Suggesting strategies to avoid feeling low at the bus stop
Like driving a paddle with a burnt-out fuse
Attempting to navigate through difficulties
My best friend Kimmy wants to go with you
A friend wanting to join a meeting place after school
So meet her by the sugar mill after school
Repeating the desire of a friend to meet
My best friend Kimmy wants to go with you
Reiterating a friend's interest in meeting up
So meet her by the sugar mill after school
Repeating the plan to meet
We used to laugh a lot
Reflecting on past laughter
But only because we thought
Laughing due to the anticipation of enduring positivity
That everything good always would remain
Belief that everything good would continue
We used to laugh a lot
Recalling past laughter
But only because we thought
Laughing due to the anticipation of enduring positivity
That everything good always would
Expectation that everything good would continue
Everything good always would remain
Reiteration of the belief that everything good would endure
