[Verse]
Way back when the skies were bruised
Fields were golden dreams
Never used
I had a pickup
It barely ran
But it held my world
It held my plan
[Prechorus]
The moon was closer back in time
We chased it like a nursery rhyme
[Chorus]
Way back when
We were kings of the dirt
No gold on our necks
Just the sweat on our shirts
Way back when
Every song was a fight
Every wrong turned right in the glow of the night
[Verse 2]
Rivers ran wild like they owned the land
We skipped rocks like we had some grandstand
Boots in the mud
Hearts in the sky
We were legends then
We didn’t ask why
[Prechorus]
The stars were closer back in the day
They lit our roads
They showed the way
[Chorus]
Way back when
We were kings of the dirt
No gold on our necks
Just the sweat on our shirts
Way back when
Every song was a fight
Every wrong turned right in the glow of the night
