lyrics

I’m an old fat skater
I'll See ya later
Going down town lookin like a potater...
On four wheels.
What’s the deal?
Can barely Ollie up a curb without an old man grunt

When I was only 16 I could disaster slide a handrail
And take a fall without needing a rest
Now I need to stretch or I'll get a cramp in my leg
Now I need pick my skate to cross the street
Got big soft wheels so I don't get killed by a pebble

I’m an old fat skater
I'll See ya later
Going down town lookin like a potater...
On four wheels.
What’s the deal?
If I tried a kick flip now, I'd probably break a friggin ankle

Oh those days of dropping in are way long gone, cause if I did
I'd probably have quite a few less teeth
Don't get me wrong, I still like to wear my thrasher shirt and Vans hi-tops
Old man poseur level unlocked
Hit the park at 5am to avoid the young dickheads

I'm an old fat skater
I remember Gator
Hokus Pokus, sick boys, and public domain
We're some of my favourite
VHS tapes
After I smashed my face I could never skate the same again

I’m an old fat skater
I'll See ya later
Going down town lookin like a potater...
On four wheels.
What’s the deal?
After I smashed my face I could never skate the same again
