[Zwrotka 1]
Back in my hometown
The main street's dying now
It's like there's nothing left of it
No more high school grounds
They tore that building down
And everything we built
Well, I miss
I call up my own friends
So long since I've seen them
Feels like were back there instantly
To me

We all meet at Shawn's
The backyard fire's on
And we start telling tales of how life used to be
But years have come and gone
But these stories carry on
Looking back, they're better than they used to be

[Refren]
Cause you shoulda seen the size of the guy's we've been fightin'
And we shouldn't be alive at the speed's we were driving
But momma always taught us never to tell a lie
And every ten-yard pass always turned into twenty
Every girl we were with never cost any money
And we drank more tequila than any man alive
And the story goes on
And gets a little better
Every time we're together

It's funny how we change
And some things stay the same
God, I miss the glory days
Always
Daylight getting near
We shed a few more tears
Lord, I love the memories we've made
The years have come and gone
But the stories carry on
Looking back, they're better than they used to be

[Refren]
Cause you shoulda seen the size of the guy's we've been fightin'
And we shouldn't be alive at the speed's we were driving
But momma always taught us never to tell a lie
And every ten-yard pass always turned into twenty
Every girl we were with never cost any money
And we drank more tequila than any man alive
And the story goes on
And gets a little better
Every time we're together

[Refren]
Cause you shoulda seen the size of the guy's we've been fightin'
And we shouldn't be alive at the speed's we were driving
But momma always taught us never to tell a lie
And every ten-yard pass always turned into twenty
Every girl we were with never cost any money
And we drank more tequila than any man alive
And the story goes on
And gets a little better
Every time we're together
And the story goes on
And gets a little better
Every time we're together
