WILTON SONG LYRICS

We wore white tube socks
And painted the rock
We learned how to dance
At Walter Schalk

Cider Mill
Middlebrook up the hill
The tire playground
Was the new thrill

We grew up fast
When we crossed the town line
We were just kids
Back in seventy-nine

In the center after school
We played it cool
And Merwin Meadows
Our dirty pool

The Buggles video
And the death of disco
The toughest kid
Was Lou DeFrancesco

We grew up fast
After Reagan had won
And we were just kids
Back in eighty-one
Nineteen-eightyone

With a Warrior pride
Deep inside
Lacrosse state champs
New Canaan cried

Thriller was king
Quiet Riot and Sting
And no one even knew
That "Clue" could sing

We grew up fast
With a slow PC
And we were just kids
Back in eighty-three
Nineteen-eightythree

The town was dry
We still got high
Peeled out from the courts
When the cops came by

We grew up fast
But old friends survive
When we were just kids
Back in eightyfive
Nineteen-eightyfive

ABOUT THE SONGWRITERS

Allan and Chris were friends in Wilton, Connecticut during the late 70s and early 80s. As high school freshman, they played in a band called "Stand Like This" with Winnie Smith and Mark Bardagy. In their senior yearbook, Chris was voted "Most Musical."

It wasn't until their 20th high school reunion that the two friends rediscovered their common interest in songwriting. Through Facebook.com, they collaborated on this song which was written and recorded during November - December 2008. Chris produced the song and video through his children's music company.
