Lyrics

[00:20.840] We were gonna be the ones on the radio,
[00:23.330] Gonna be the ones with the sold out shows.
[00:25.730] Wanted everyone to know our name,
[00:28.280] We were busy chasing lights and fame.
[00:31.130] A band in a van headed to your town,
[00:33.420] Weren't gonna leave 'til ya kicked us out.
[00:36.220] Doing what we had to do,
[00:38.840] Crashing on a couch or two.
[00:41.010] And when the lights went down,
[00:45.910] We were singing.
[00:46.730] Oh oh oh...
[00:52.960] We were young and fun,
[00:54.940] Just another band on the run.
[00:57.970] Oh oh oh...
[01:02.830] We were just chasing dreams,
[01:04.360] Finding out in the meantime what it means.
[01:08.270] To be young and wild and free.
[01:11.220] We were twenty three.
[01:22.170] We were staying up way too late on 21st,
[01:25.320] Living our lives like a second verse.
[01:27.720] Of a song that we all began,
[01:30.270] But nobody knows how it ends.
[01:33.010] There were summertime shows at the Exit In,
[01:35.320] Playing like we'll never get the chance again.
[01:37.990] Spotting big shots in the crowd,
[01:40.690] Hoping they'd find us out.
[01:43.180] And when the lights went down,
[01:47.910] We were singing.
[01:48.640] Oh oh oh...
[01:54.530] We were young and fun,
[01:56.790] Just another band on the run.
[01:59.430] Oh oh oh...
[02:04.810] We were just chasing dreams,
[02:06.560] Finding out in the meantime what it means.
[02:10.220] To be young and wild and free.
[02:13.160] We were twenty three.
[02:17.240] Living out our teenage fantasies,
[02:22.330] Dreaming about the possibilities.
[02:26.160] You never know,
[02:27.100] Who'll be on the cover of the next Rolling Stone you see.
[02:34.110] And we were singing.
[02:35.070] Oh oh oh...
[02:40.980] We were young and fun,
[02:43.110] Just another band on the run.
[02:46.020] Oh oh oh...
[02:51.190] We were just chasing dreams,
[02:53.030] Finding out in the meantime what it means.
[02:56.340] To be young and wild and free.
[02:59.630] We were twenty three.
[03:08.400] It was brighter by the day and better by the minute.
[03:18.720] Having twice as much fun 'cause we were all in it.
[03:29.050] It was brighter by the day and better by the minute.
[03:39.170] Having twice as much fun 'cause we were all in it.
