lyrics

There was a day when we went into town to get
A turtle from the pet shop
It was a Minnesota summer there was nothing to do
But wait until the snow dropped

So we did, we did, we did
We waited all July
And there were nothing but blue skies
Nothing but you and I

I remember a guy getting chased by the cops
Down the hill by the billboard

And those hot lazy walks from the school to the beach
That we wouldn't trade the world for

And we'd wade, we’d wade, we’d wade
We'd wade into the lake
And all of us kids loved
Nothing more than being awake

I'll remember Excelsior 'till the day I die
And I'll lay my soul there to rest

I could not imagine a better way
To spend my days and nights

All the memories from sandy shores
Are velcro'd to my mind

And I'll leave , I’ll leave, I’ll leave
I'll leave eventually
But in the core of my heart
I'll still hear the waves crashing for me

I'll remember Excelsior 'till the day I die
And I'll lay my soul there to rest
'Cause nothing shines brighter than that Lake Street sky
And those Excelsior memories are the best
