| I’m back in my hometown
|
| And Main Street’s dying now
|
| It’s like there’s nothing left of it
|
| No more high school grounds
|
| They tore that building down
|
| And everything with it I miss
|
| I call up my old friends
|
| So long since I’ve seen them
|
| It’s like we’re back there instantly to me
|
| We all meet at Shawn’s
|
| The backyard fire’s on
|
| And we start telling tales of how life used to be
|
| The years have come and gone
|
| But the stories carry on
|
| Looking back they’re better than they used to be
|
| 'Cause you should have seen the size of the guys we were fighting
|
| And we shouldn’t be alive at the speeds we were driving
|
| But Mama always taught us to never tell a lie, ooh
|
| And every ten-yard pass always turned into twenty
|
| Every girl we were with never cost any money
|
| And we drank more tequila than any man alive
|
| And the story goes on and gets a little better
|
| Every time we’re together
|
| It’s funny how we change
|
| And some things stay the same
|
| God, I miss the glory days always
|
| With daylight getting near
|
| We shed a few more tears
|
| Lord, I love the memories we’ve made
|
| The years have come and gone
|
| But the stories carry on
|
| Looking back they’re better than they used to be
|
| 'Cause you should have seen the size of the guys we were fighting
|
| And we shouldn’t be alive at the speeds we were driving
|
| But Mama always taught us to never tell a lie, ooh
|
| And every ten-yard pass always turned into twenty
|
| Every girl we were with never cost any money
|
| And we drank more tequila than any man alive
|
| And the story goes on and gets a little better
|
| Every time we’re together
|
| Well you should have seen the size of the guys we were fighting
|
| And we shouldn’t be alive at the speeds we were driving
|
| But Mama always taught us to never tell a lie, ooh
|
| And every ten-yard pass always turned into twenty
|
| Every girl we were with never cost any money
|
| And we drank more tequila than any man alive
|
| And the story goes on and gets a little better
|
| Every time we’re together
|
| And the story goes on and gets a little better
|
| Every time we’re together |
