Young Forever

It was new sneakers for the first day of school
They weren't name brand and didn't matter they weren't cool
Momma used to pack my lunch in a bag
We made quite a lot with the little we had
My friends saved me a seat on the back of the bus
Didn't know any different cus that's just the way things was
Didn't know these would be the years that'd fly by so fast
Pretty soon how I wish that I could go back

Cus it's milkshakes on a Friday night
Go cruisin in the full moonlight
Catchin catfish in my only fishin hole
With my grandpappy's fishin pole
Star gazin in the back of pa's pickup truck
No way ever gonna give this up
If I could make one wish I know
Never gonna let this moment go
Oh to be young forever
Ahhh ahhhh ahhhh
Oh to be young forever
Ohhh ohhhhh ohhh

Sixteen think you know it all
Talk is cheap and promises small
Dreams bigger than the open sky
You still got the best years ahead in your life
Savor this moment take it real slow
These are the best years yet kid don't you know
Take time to laugh till you can't catch your breath
You think your time is now you ain't seen nothin yet

It's milkshakes on a Friday night
Go cruisin in the full moonlight
Ten times round the square I know
Head back then to watch the rodeo
Star gazin in the bed of my truck
No way I'm ever gonna give this up
If I could make one wish I know
Never gonna let this moment go
Oh to be young forever
Ahhh ahhhhh ahhh
Oh to be young forever
Ohhh ohhhhh ohhh

Went back home just last week
Heard my friend Jay died in his sleep
The movie theater ain't there no more
They tore it down for some big box store
Turned left at the four way stop
Put up some high end hotel with a coffee shop

It's no longer my same hometown
I'd like to go back there just one more time
But time waits for no one that's what they say
Back to the days of innocence and big dreams
Where times were simpler, wild, carefree

It's milkshakes on a Friday night
Go cruisin in the full moonlight
Life has its ups and downs
However wouldn't change a bit of it now
Think I'll go stargazin while chasing fireflies
Savor all of life's moments not let them pass me by
If I could make one wish I know
Never gonna let this moment go
Oh to be young forever
Ahhh ahhhhh ahhh
Oh to be young forever
Ohhh ohhhhh ohhh

Oh just to be young forever
Ahhh ahhhh ahhh
I wish I could have stayed young forever
Ohhh ohhhhh ohhhhh

Well just to be young forever
Ahhh ahhh ahhhh
I wish I could have stayed young forever
Ohhhh ohhhh ohhhh
Mmmm
