Wasted Time

The rain is comin' down tonight
I'm smilin' lookin' at this photograph
I hear that song and I'm flyin' right back to when we had it made
Every Friday night when the sun went down
We'd be runnin' them streets like we owned the town

And I just can't let it go, no, I just can't let it go
I wonder if you ever think about it like I do, ooh-ooh
Seven kids on a two lane road
Had the guns on the radio
After all this time it still feels so good

When I think about those summer nights
Singin' out the window, on the back roads
Sweet child of mine

Sippin' on the local's spark of light
Uh ain't it funny how the best days of my life
Was all that wasted (time)?
All that wasted time

Out of nowhere, it slipped away
And the rope by the river hangs silently
And the town that I knew ain't nothin' like it used to be
Ah, I can't explain
They took all the color from the picture frame
And the days got sold to the bird in the game

But I just can't let it go, no, I just can't let it go
I wonder if you ever think about it like I do, ooh-ooh
Seven kids on a two lane road
We had the guns on the radio
After all this time (it still feels so good)

When I think about those summer nights
Singin' out the window, on the back roads
Sweet child of mine

Sippin' on the local's spark of light
Eh, ain't it funny how the best days of my life
Was all that wasted (time)? All that wasted time
Swingin' out on the line
Livin' all that wasted time

Hey, hey, now, whoa oh yeah

Summer dresses layin' out on the hood of the car
Only music that we had was out the left speaker
We were livin' every second until the time ran out
We had nothin' but we had it all

When I think about those summer nights
Sneakin' out the window, runnin' back roads
Your hand in mine
We were going nowhere, we were so alive
Uh huh, ain't it crazy how the best days of my life

Was all that wasted (time)? All that wasted (time)
We were swingin' out on the line
Livin' all that wasted (time)

Hey, you know ooh, ooh (time)
Don't you feel it comin' on back now (time)
(Time)
