Song Description
this couple is young and hot and full of passion. They spend a lot of time in their car which is one of the only places they can really be alone together. They make love in the car....a lot. They spend a lot of time driving around the back roads and dirt highways looking for a place where they wont be disturbed. They wonder what it would be like if they were grown ups and didn't have to sneak around and hide their passion, but they make a lot of sweet memories anyway. they dont stay together, of course as they had planned to do in high school, but they remain friends and hold onto those early memories of falling in love for the first time.

Lyrics
Sun is slowly comin up dawn is breadkin over us, one more night has faded away. And the time that we spend, we never want it to end, we wanna hold onto yesterday. So young and full of life, come on let's go for a little ride....whaddya say? It's nothing but a painted sky...wish we didn't need an alibi.
Well, things have maybe changed some, maybe rearranged some but you're forever in my heart.
Just slip your hand in mind...wish we could just keep driving...turn up the volume on the radio.
There's nothing to regret trying hard not to forget the sweetest days I've ever known.
Time you old bandit what have you done? Stolen those wonder years when they'd only just begun. Right now I swear to god I'd be bought and sold, to spend one night with you on those back roads. You and me, you and me on those back roads.
Start a fire with a memory, live a little in a fantasy would you go back baby if you could? To those hot sticky August nights I think Neil said it right...."good times never seemed so good"
All that time can take from me is youth and beauty but all these memories are mine.
Time you old bandit what have you done? Stolen those wonder years when they'd only just begun. Right now I swear to God I'd be bought and sold to spend one night with you on those back roads....back roads...badk roads...you and me....
