about

This song is dedicated to the IBC, West Tampa Chapter, and to all the Chulos and Chulas dedicated to preserving our rich history.

lyrics

Grew up in Tampa, FLA
Things were different back in my day
High school dances, baseball parks
Riding bike until it got dark
And then we’d go inside and watch TV
Open the windows ‘cause the air was free
Oh, how I love those memories
With Family and friends...

Family and friends
Family and friends
That’s all that matters in the end
Family and friends...

We’d get together every chance we could
Didn’t have much but what we had was good
Drive in movies, soda shops
Rock and Roll, R&B, Be-Bop
The summer wind was heaven sent
Familiar faces every where we went
Oh, how I cherish every moment spent
With family and friends...

Family and friends
Family and friends
Nothing matters in the end, but
Family and friends...

Ooh, I remember
I remember all the good times that we had
Oh, and I can’t forget, no, I can’t forget
This is where I wanna be
This is who I am

My family your family our family
My family your family our family
My family your family our family
Family and friends...

West Tampa Boy’s Club, Sulphur Springs
Cuscaden Park and The Silver Ring
Dale Mabry Lanes, the skating rink
Drinking water from the kitchen sink
We’d stay up late on Friday nights
Shock Theater gave us such a fright
As I recall, it all felt just right
With family and friends...

Family and friends
Family and friends
These, the blessings the good Lord sends
Family and friends...

Family and friends
Family and friends
That’s all that matters in the end
Family and friends...
