Verse 1:
Take me back to where we were,
Before the world got big, before the lines got blurred.
When time didn’t move, and love was blind,
And tomorrow was just another night.
Yeah, we were reckless, sure, but we meant every word,
Livin’ free and half-crazy —
Back where we were.
Pre-Chorus:
We’d crash at somebody’s house ‘til dawn,
Singin’ Skynyrd and Cash like we wrote those songs.
Talkin’ ‘bout girls and gettin’ gone,
But most of us never did move on.
Chorus (Hook):
Take me back, take me back,
To the nights we never knew would pass.
Hearts on fire, wild and free,
Back to where we were, you and me.
Yeah, we were reckless, sure, but we meant every word,
Livin’ free and half-crazy —
Back where we were.
Verse 2 (Revised):
We’d tear down backroads past the county line,
Windows down, radio up, feelin’ fine.
The stars above like they were ours to claim,
Every laugh, every fight, every little flame.
Some nights we got lost in the haze,
Chasin’ sparks through that reckless maze.
Hearts on fire, runnin’ wild and free,
Livin’ fast, chasin’ everything we’d be.
Bridge:
Now I drive past those old roads,
See the fields where the night wind blows.
I swear I can hear the echoes of our youth,
In every song, in every truth.
If I could go back just one more time,
I’d live it all, yours and mine.
Chorus (Hook – Repeat):
Take me back, take me back,
To the nights we never knew would pass.
Hearts on fire, wild and free,
Back to where we were, you and me.
Yeah, we were reckless, sure, but we meant every word,
Livin’ free and half-crazy —
Back where we were.
Outro:
Back where we were…
Back where we were…
Take me back, take me back…
