I ride east every other Friday but if I had it my way Days would not be wasted on this drive And I want so bad to hold you Some of the things I haven't told you Your mom and me just couldn't get along And I'll think about my life And wonder why, I'll

I'll just keep playing back These fragments of time Everywhere I go These moments will shine And it's crystal clear That I don't ever want it to end If I had my way I would never leave Keep building these random memories Turning our days into melodies

It's Friday night let's lose our minds in a downward spiral 'Cause we got no control (No control) It's Friday nights always save my life from the worst of times we ever had Thank God for punk rock bands Till Monday morning strikes again We are the kings

Boy, you know we'd do it every single day I'll show you want I like boy, boy, boy If you show me what you like boy, boy, boy I'll show you what I like If you show me what you like, boy If I had a choice If I had my way If I had a wish And if I had my way

If I had possession, over judgment day And I rolled and I tumbled and I cried the whole night long Had to fold my arms and I, slowly walked away Now run here, baby, set down on my knee Lord, the little woman I'm lovin' wouldn't, have no right to pray And

I'll always remember Those were the best of times These were the best of times I'll miss these days Your spirit led my life each day Remember days of yesterday And how it flew so fast The two score and a year we had, I thought would always last

You found me dressed in black Hiding way up at the back Life had broken my heart into pieces You took my hand in yours You started breaking down my walls And you covered my heart in kisses I thought life passed me by Missed my tears, ignored my cries

I've been doin' me Yeah, I've been doin' me Followin' my dreams If I took the hand that was dealt me then I would be nowhere in life Yeah, I had to think smart Threw away the deck and got my own cards Long before I had the money to afford a car Yeah, I'm

You almost had your hooks in me, didn't you dear You nearly had me roped and tied Altar-bound, hypnotized Sweet freedom whispered in my ear You're a butterfly And butterflies are free to fly Fly away, high away, bye bye And someone saved my life tonight,

Mama, just killed a man Put a gun against his head Pulled my trigger, now he's dead Mama, life had just begun But now I've gone and thrown it all away Didn't mean to make you cry If I'm not back again this time tomorrow Carry on, carry on
