We were kings of the backseat
Runnin' down a dream
High on fumes from an old Ford van
Weekend warrior cover band
The only lessons we ever learned
Came from the words in a song
We didn't know who we were yet
We were just playin' along
Got everybody on a neon high
Throwin' 'em back 'til we're feelin' fine
Borderline the best nights ever
We'd get the crowd singing,
Whoa whoa
It'd do a lotta good to
Go back, go back
And do a little more livin' like that
In the days when the only
Thing that mattered on earth
Was free beer and free bird
Some guy'd send a six pack up
Play somethin' rockin' for us
A Jesse's girl lick through
A Marshall stack
A buncha of girls go crazy in the back
They'd push their way up
To the dance floor
And start getting down
Makin' eyes looking
At us wantin' more
Than just a night on the town
Got everybody on a neon high
Throwin' 'em back 'til
We're feelin' fine
Borderline the best nights ever
We'd get the crowd singing,
Whoa whoa
It'd do a lotta good to go back, go back
And do a little more livin' like that
In the days when the only
Thing that mattered on earth
Was free beer and free bird
Yeah
Got everybody on a neon high
Throwin' 'em back 'til we're feelin' fine
Borderline the best nights ever
We'd get the crowd singing,
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa
It'd do a lotta good to go back, go back
And do a little more livin' like that
In the days when the only
Thing that mattered on earth
Was free beer and free bird
Free beer and free bird
Free beer and free bird
