My Anthem

Little world, little town, on a road, in a car
Going nowhere fast
Just a girl with a boy who never been that far
He could never go back
I was tired of talking about going to college somewhere
You were tired of your parents fighting downstairs

We thought we could outrun our youth
You and me could outrun the truth

You weren't just a prayer, you were my salvation
You weren't just my first, you were my education
You weren't just a song on the radio
You were my solid gold centerfold, daddy hates my rock and roll
Back seat dancing
We ain't never growing old anthem
Yeah, you were my anthem

In a house, in a room with a poster on a wall
Looking for a way out
In a yard, in a dark, climb the fence just to fall
Thought that's what love was about
Even when you had to put my jacket abound your shoulders
We were pretending that the summer wasn't over

We thought we could outrun our youth
You and me could outrun the truth

You weren't just a prayer, you were my salvation
You weren't just my first, you were my education
You weren't just a song on the radio
You were my solid gold centerfold, daddy hates my rock and roll
Back seat dancing
We ain't never growing old anthem
Yeah, you were my anthem

You were the backbeat of freedom
The front row kind of feeling
Just what I needed to hear
The kind you wanna sing along
Baby, with your blue jeans on

We thought we could outrun our youth
You and me could outrun the truth

You weren't just a prayer, you were my salvation
You weren't just my first, you were my education
You weren't just a song on the radio
You were my solid gold, centerfold, daddy hates my rock and roll
Back seat dancing
We ain't never growing old anthem
Yeah, you were my anthem

The kind you wanna sing along
The kind you wanna sing along
