Dans mon quartier d'banlieue
Y'avait d'l'action en torieu, quand on tait morveux
On jouait 'c'achette su'' terrains des voisins
J'restais cach pas mal longtemps
Dans' haie avec la p'tite Chartrand...
Quand y faisait pas beau
Y'avait l'sous-sol Guilbeault, on allait jouer au Colleco
Les p'tits gars on capotait su' G.I. Joe's
Pis su'a s'ur Lavalle, parce qu' n'avait des gros!!!
Et quand l'soleil sortait d'derrire les nuages
A s'animait partout dans le voisinage
On entendait les slap-shots su' portes de garages
Pis gueuler la mre Lepage...
L'quartier s'est dispers...
On a vieilli... on s'est fait des nouveaux amis
Y'a eu les premires blondes mais c'tait pas trop steady
C'est Dd qui a t l'premier avoir son permis
Dans son vieux Datsun
On coutait du Led Zeppelin
Avec toute not'vie en avant
Mais par un esti d'soir vers la fin du printemps
Aprs un party Dd s'est tu
Y s'est endormi au volant...
M'a toujours me rappeler de c'te soire-l
Les Canadiens v'naient de gagner la coupe Stanley
Aprs sa mort on est tous'tombs ben bas
J'ai lch l'Cgep en janvier
T'es arrive au bon moment
T'es sortie d'nowhere
Un peu comme une fleur qui pousse en hiver
En d'sous des spots oranges du parc Champigny
C'est l que pour la premire fois on s'est donn un gros bi...
J'pense que c'tait le plus beau jour de ma vie
Aprs a j't'ai pay l'lunch au Kentucky
J'suis all te r'conduire avec le torse bomb
Maudit qu'c'soir-l j'ai ben dormi...
On a eu des bons moments
Mais l'bonheur a ben l'air que a dure rien qu'un temps
Parce qu'une fois quand j'me suis point chez to
Chu r'venu comme un boxeur qui v'nait d'manger une vole
Assis su'a table de pique-nique
Tu m'as dit qu't'en avais assez, que t'avais mme un nouveau kik
J'suis parti en marchant sans me r'tourner
Dans ton driveway j'me su'r'tenu pour pas partir brailler...
C'est comme si t'avais pris une paire de cuters
Pis qu't'avais coup le cordon de mon c'ur
J'me su'dvast pendant une coup' de s'maines
Faut ben qu'un gars ravale sa peine...
L'automne est r'venue par la porte d'en arrire
Dans ma banlieue la nuit est belle pis y'a d'l'espoir
La pleine lune reflte pareil comme un miroir
Sur l'eau des piscines hors-terres...
