We Were Young
Thinking back on life you know I shed some tears
I got a 5th of jack and a six pack of cold beers
See I remember the first time that I saw your face
It was second grade and at recess we played chase
By 5th grade I knew that I had found my wife
The one that I wanted to spend my life
But in junior high you had to say goodbye
Lord, knows how much I cried
We use to play in the dirt
Now you sleep in my shirt
We would share our dreams
And you loved ice cream
You'd be waiting on me
When the clock struck 3
We were young
When the school bell rang
We'd get together and sang
In the front seat of my Chevy
Nothing heavy nice and steady
Dancing in the rain
The day we tasted champagne
We were young
We were young
We were young
Thinking back on life you know I shed some tears
I got a half 5th of jack but I still six cold beers
I cursed the day you had to go away
Every since you left me all my days were gray
Until the day you caught me by surprise
You said your back in town and thought that you'd stop by
You said you missed me so and you hoped that I didn't roam
You said your families moving back into your home
We use to play in the dirt
Now you sleep in my shirt
We would share our dreams
And you loved ice cream
You'd be waiting on me
When the clock struck 3
We were young
When the school bell rang
We'd get together and sang
In the front seat of my Chevy
Nothing heavy nice and steady
Dancing in the rain
The day we tasted champagne
We were young
We were young
We were young
Thinking back on life you know I shed some tears
All my jack is gone and I'm working on my beers
All through high school Lord knows I tried
To get the courage to tell you how I feel inside
Graduation day I took you by the hand
And I slipped you a note it read can I be your man
As you read it I stood real still to learn my fate
But you slapped me then kissed me you said that's for making you wait
We use to play in the dirt
Now you sleep in my shirt
We would share our dreams
And you loved ice cream
You'd be waiting on me
When the clock struck 3
We were young
When the school bell rang
We'd get together and sang
In the front seat of my Chevy
Nothing heavy nice and steady
Dancing in the rain
The day we tasted champagne
We were young,
We use to play in the dirt
Now you sleep in my shirt
We would share our dreams
And you loved ice cream
You'd be waiting on me
When the clock struck 3
We were young
When the school bell rang
We'd get together and sang
In the front seat of my Chevy
Nothing heavy nice and steady
Dancing in the rain
The day we tasted champagne
We were young
We were young
We were young
