There’s a big blue banner for the Lion’s Club
cheerleaders in a pickup truck
A couple of veterans shaking hands
And here comes the high school marching band
And everybody’s trying to be the best that they can be
Everybody’s tryna be the change they wanna see
They’re giving up time, picking up signs and walking the yellow line
And it reminds me…
If I forget where I come from
If I ever lose my way
I’ll find it throwing penny candy
In the Labor Day parade
There’s a big balloon bed from a furniture store
And a Catholic Church tryna feed the poor
A beauty queen in a Cadillac
And a triple A pitcher signing autographs
And everybody’s trying to be the best that they can be
Everybody’s tryna be the change they wanna see
They’re giving up time, picking up signs and walking the yellow line
And it reminds me, yea it reminds me
That if I forget where I come from
If I ever lose my way
I’ll find it throwing penny candy
In the Labor Day parade
Imagine all the things that we could see
And the people we could meet
If only we could take another Monday off
And open up the street…
Cause everybody’s trying to be the best that they can be
Everybody’s tryna be the change they wanna see
They’re giving up time, picking up signs, walking the yellow line
And it reminds me…
If I forget where I come from
If I ever lose my way
I’ll find it throwing penny candy
In the Labor Day parade
