Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 We were burning daylight, chasing down the sun Cheap gas, loud laughs, thinking we were young Windows down, that old truck barely ran Didn’t have a clue, didn’t have a plan Pre-Chorus We said forever like it had no end Funny how forever bends Chorus We were living in the good old days Didn’t know it then, just let ‘em slip away Every late night, every wrong turn Every dumb mistake was a lesson we’d learn Now I’d give anything just to go back again To the life we had, didn’t know we were in Yeah, we were kings of a world that we outgrew Living the dream we thought we’d outdo We were right there, standing in the sun In the good old days… didn’t know it then Verse 2 Photographs faded, but I see it clear That porch light glow, all my friends right here We swore we’d never be like them someday Now we’re tired souls with bills to pay Pre-Chorus Time moves faster than you think it will One day you’re wild, next day you’re still Chorus We were living in the good old days Didn’t know it then, just let ‘em slip away Every late night, every wrong turn Every cheap beer buzz and the bridges we burned Now I’d give anything just to go back again To the life we had, didn’t know we were in Yeah, we were kings of a world that we outgrew Living the dream we thought we’d outdo We were right there, standing in the sun In the good old days… didn’t know it then Bridge If I could talk to that kid I was I’d say slow it down, man, soak it up You don’t get a warning when it ends One day you’re there… then it’s “remember when” Final Chorus We were living in the good old days Now they’re just songs and old mixtapes Every laugh echoes in my mind Like a ghost of a better time Yeah, I’d give anything just to go back again To the life we had, didn’t know we were in We were young, we were free, we were infinite Didn’t know those moments were the best of it We were right there, but we couldn’t see The good old days… were happening to me Outro Yeah, the good old days… Didn’t know it then
