Lyrics
Pebbles & tar clicked through our spokes/As we rode down daylight on that gravel road/And our parents' voices fell off in the distance/Yellin' kids it's time to come home
There were adventures to seek/Trails to blaze/Buried treasure left hidden at the end of the day/For young explorers to discover/And still make it home for Disney by eight
We were invincible/We were untouchable/The world was at our feet and the mighty would never fall/And in our innocence and inexperience/No one could tell us different/When we knew it all
Mud and grass stuck to our heels/As we partied past midnight in that ol' field/Couples stealin' kisses by the bonfire/That first love seemed so real/And racin' the backroads pushin' 75/Tryin' to get everybody home on time/Late for curfew again while our parents waited to give us a piece of their minds
We were invincible/We were untouchable/The world was at our feet and the mighty would never fall/And in our innocence and inexperience/No one could tell us different/When we knew it all
We sere kings and queens/With endless dreams/In those glory days/Now we're nine to five with common lives/But we still hold a trace
Of when we were invincible/We were untouchable/The world was at our feet and the mighty would never fall/And in our innocence and inexperience/No one could tell us different/When we knew it all
