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 …
