Money well spent

Growing up, I was well behaved
Like a tiger in a cage
Doing well at school
Never getting in trouble

Then 17 came along and burst that bubble….

Freedom came
Cars came and went
Far too much money
That was spent

New wheels, more speed 
Things we didn’t really need 
Neon lights, body kits
But it all made made us feel free

CHORUS
Open roads, 
Driving fast
Night time car meets with the lads
The tunes of the naughties blasting through the speakers
From 12inch subs and loads of tweeters
The exhaust notes tuned to sound just rite
Neons and flames  lighting up the night
All in all seemed like money well spent
But as we grew up those days soon came and 
 went 

Turned 17 girls came and went
Even more money
That we spent
Dinners out and trying to impress
Heart breaks 
First break ups 
Tonnes of stress 

Thank god for 
CHORUS
Open roads, 
Driving fast,
Night time car meets, with the lads
The tunes of the naughties blasting through the speakers
From 12inch subs and loads of tweeters
The exhaust notes tuned, to sound just rite
Neons and flames,  lighting up the night
All in all seemed like money well spent
But as we grew up those days soon came and 
went 

We went coledge while working hard
To make more money to waste on cars
Or waste on the girls that would break our hearts
But who’d have known this was just the start


We will always love
CHORUS
Open roads, 
Driving fast
Night time car meets with the lads
The tunes of the naughties blasting through the speakers
From 12inch subs and loads of tweeters
The exhaust notes tuned to sound just rite
Neons and flames  lighting up the night
All in all seemed like money well spent
But as we grew up those days soon came and 
went 

Now we are older, always the way
It’s sure in life we’ll get old and grey
We still have a great time but not from speed
Some of us need glasses just to read
But deep inside we never grow up
We will keep fast cars and girls finally stuck
Around enough to know we’re alright
But we never will forget them nights 

With 
CHORUS
Open roads, 
Driving fast
Night time car meets with the lads
The tunes of the naughties blasting through the speakers
From 12inch subs and loads of tweeters
The exhaust notes tuned to sound just rite
Neons and flames  lighting up the night
All in all seemed like money well spent
But as we grew up those days soon came and 
went 

Memories like these are special and gold
Will stay will you till your grey and old
40 now and have some regrets
But every mistake makes you learn
So don’t give up yet …
