Roller Skate was written in 2014 but we finally recorded it last month! It’s a song all about roller skating and having fun! We could all use a little fun right now to help combat all the negativity swirling around.
If you don’t know what a suicide stop is, they’re calling it a transition toe stop or an emergency stop these days. here’s a vid…
Here are the lyrics… (and yes, I say “girls in the park” in the last line)
I want to roller skate
I want a big escape
I want to roller skate
By the boys in the park
Suicide stop
Come on and don’t be late
I want a big escape
I want to roller skate
By the boys in the park
Suicide stop
Me and my friends took my daddy’s radio
We like to turn it up
We try to make the jump
Me and my friends laughin’ with the camera on
We caught Brianna’s crash
For goin’ way too fast
Rolling faster
Heading for disaster
Going forward
Turning backwards
Crossing over
Circle eights
I want to roller skate
I want a big escape
I want to roller skate
By the boys in the park
Suicide stop
Come on and don’t be late
I want a big escape
I want to roller skate
By the boys in the park
Suicide stop
La la la la la
Ooohhh
La la la la la
Ooohhh
La la la la la
Rolling faster
Heading for disaster
Going forward
Turning backwards
Crossing over
Circle eights
Rolling faster
Heading for disaster
Going forward
Turning backwards
Crossing over
Circle eights
I want to roller skate
I want a big escape
I want to roller skate
By the boys in the park
Suicide stop
Come on and don’t be late
I want a big escape
I want to roller skate
By the boys in the park
Suicide stop
I want to roller skate
I want a big escape
I want to roller skate
By the boys in the park
Suicide stop
Come on and don’t be late
I want a big escape
I want to roller skate
By the girls in the park
Suicide stop stop stop
