When I was young Pain more painful Laughter much louder Yeah, when I was young The rooms were so much colder then My father was a soldier then And times were very hard I smoked my first cigarette at ten And for girls, I had a bad yen

In this thirty five mile an hour town Mama locked the door last night For the first time in all of her years I said mama you gotta be kidding me She said things ain’t like they used to be round here You just wouldn’t believe it Kids growing up without

When was the last time you did something for the first time? Maybe something new is what you're needing Like a real life, let your hair down, feel alive You say you never danced to a dashboard singin' R.E.M. under summer stars Never leaned back on a jet

Ooh ooh ooh ooh Why do I do this to myself every time? I know the way it ends before it's even begun I am the only one at the finish line I could've sworn I saw fireworks From your house last night Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh As the lights flickered

Yeah, I live for little moments like that Well, I'll never forget the first time that I heard That pretty mouth say that dirty word And I can't even remember now what she backed my truck into But she covered her mouth and her face got red And she just

Forever love No matter what I'll be waiting for you I promise you Someday we'll be together I won't give up The first time I laid my eyes on you I knew We'd spend this life side by side I still feel the same though you're so far away
