lyrics

We used to hop fences
We used to hop fences

On the way to school During recess
On our lunch hour We’d hop fences
To get some place
To prove something
And we'd hop fences
On the way back home again
Short cuts
Scenic routes
In the evening
And on the weekend

We used to hop fences
We used to hop fences

To get to soccer
Or McDonald’s
For expedience or fun
To prove it could be done
Clean fences
Dirty fences
High fences
Low fences
We faced bramble
We faced barbs
We faced ivy
And angry pets

We used to hop fences
We used to hop fences

Some fences were chain link
Some were wood panel
Some fences were post and rail
Sometimes we hopped hedges too
We went from yard to yard
To fetch balls or discs
Or somebody's Foxtail
We’d hop fences
To find friends Evade foes
Or pretend foes
We’d hop fences
We hopped broken fences
We hopped mended fences
We hopped rusty fences
We hopped moldy fences
We got scrapes and burns
And splinters and cuts
We got stains and rips
And bruises and bumps

We used to hop fences
We used to hop fences

Most of the time
We got away clean
Not bruised nor bumped
Or anything
But sometimes we bled
And sometimes we cried
We saw things we shouldn'ta
And we arrived in record time

We used to hop fences
We used to hop fences
