We Were Kids

Catching lightning bugs in a jar

And letting some slip through my hands

Wasn’t worried about ole what’s her name

Yeah, what’s her name

Cause I hadn’t even met her yet

No Monday morning eight o’clock

Boss screaming something in my ear

No get it right no timeline and daddy’s belt

Was all that we had to fear

Back when we were kids

It was Sunday church

Supper at grandmas, saying the blessing

Believing every damn word

Back when we were kids

Yeah, when we were kids

In the back of grandaddy’s fridge

It was ice cold PBR’s

Yeah, I wonder if he ever knew we took a few

And drank em out behind that barn

It was Friday night lights

It was bonfires and loud guitars

Well, those summer days out on the lake with ole what’s her name

Yeah, and rocking to “kickstart my heart”

Back when we were kids

Had hand me down fords and Chevrolets

Parking lot parties and cruising the town

Yeah, that’s what we did

Back when we were kids

Back when we were kids

It all goes by in the blink of an eye

What I wouldn’t do to live it all again

Back when we were kids

Back when we were kids

Back when we were kids

It was Sunday church

Supper at grandmas, saying the blessing

Believing every damn word

Back when we were kids

Back when we were kid

Back when we were kid

Back when we were kid

Jacked up smoking trucks

Bottoms of dixie cups

Cherry red sundress

Still in my head

Back when we were kid
