The brick laid street is cold as ice
And the streetlights are hanging with their heads, looking awfully tired
A rusty car is speeding through the light
The driver is anxious to get home, and so am I
'Cause this place ain't what it used to be
Back when the sound of us filled the street
We thought it would never end, we'd always come back again
But I guess we proved the critics right
When we were gonna prove them all wrong
You and I
We were gonna prove them all wrong
You and I
We were running like a wild pack of horses
Kicking dust up into the sky
We were gonna prove them all wrong
But we proved them right
You liked my songs, I loved your lies
And I was never good enough for you
But I made you smile
And this town just wouldn't let us be
Your daddy told me, "Stay the hell away"
So you came with me
We had it all figured out
They were wrong and we were right
So we took off in the morning light
When we were gonna prove them all wrong
You and I
We were gonna prove them all wrong
You and I
We were running like a wild pack of horses
Kicking dust up into the sky
We were gonna prove them all wrong
But we proved them right
We were gonna prove them all wrong, oh, oh
We were gonna prove them all wrong, oh, oh
We were running like a wild pack of horses
Kicking dust up into the sky
We were gonna prove them all wrong, oh, oh
We were gonna prove them all wrong
You and I
We were gonna prove them all wrong
