I never wore any helmets or nothing with petals Had fights and earned scars and saw all kinds of tears I chase snakes in all creeks and we let our guns preach peace. Yes we did. Back when we were kids And we believed anything could be done And we believed in the father and son And we believed there was nothing they wouldn't forgive That's how we lived back when we were kids I always stood up for others when I could muster the courage I might have gotten in trouble, but I never was lost I drove fast and rode hard And I broke rules, bones, and hearts Yes I did Back when we were kids But I believe that we learn from mistakes And I believe that your life is what you make it to be And I believe you should take all your conscience will give Just like we did Back when we were kids Yeah I believe anything can be done And I believe in the father and son And I believe there ain't nothing that they won't forgive That's how it is Just like it was Back when we were kids
