The rain is comin' down tonight I'm smilin' lookin' at this photograph I hear that song and I'm flyin' right back to when we had it made Every Friday night when the sun went down We'd be runnin' them streets like we owned the town
And I just can't let it go No, I just can't let it go I wonder if you ever think about it like I do Seven kids on a two-lane road Had the Guns on the radio After all this time it still Feels so good
Chorus: When I think about those summer nights Singin' out the window on the back roads 'Sweet Child Of Mine' Sippin' on the Loko's, spark a light Ain't it funny how the best days of my life Was all that wasted time All that wasted time Swingin' out on the line Livin' all that wasted time
Outta nowhere it slipped away The rope by the river hangs silently And the town that we knew Ain't nothin' like it used to be I, I can't explain They took all the color from the picture frame And the days got sold to the grid and the game
But I just can't let it go No, I just can't let it go I wonder if you ever think about it like I do Seven kids on a two-lane road Had the Guns on the radio After all this time it still Feels so good
Repeat Chorus
Summer dresses dryin' out on the hood of the car Only music that we had was out the left speaker We were livin' every second till the time ran out We had nothin' but we had it all
When I think about those summer nights Sneakin' out the window, runnin' back roads Your hand in mine We were goin' nowhere But were so alive Ain't it crazy how the best of my life Was all that wasted time All that wasted time Swingin' out on the line Livin' all that wasted time
