Song lyrics:
Jumpers for goalposts
Balls under cars
Home when the streetlights come on
Not a care in the world when you’re out with your friends
You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone

All of life and living in three square miles
Out to the edge of my paper round
School and friends
And not much else
Out on our bikes til the sun went down

The world was small the world was simple then
We’ve come too far to go back again

But there’s still part of me in those Orton streets
There’s still part of me that will never leave
I was raised in the 90s
Just four channels on my tv
First love and big dreams
Growing up in my baggy jeans

Jumpers for goalposts
Balls under cars
Home when the streetlights come on
Not a care in the world when you’re out with your friends
You don’t know what you’ve got
There’s no turning back the clock
You don’t know what you’ve got
Until it’s gone

Written and recorded by Michael Keithson.
