Before there was a house with a white picket
Before there was a yard with a dog in it
Was just a field outside the city limits
You wouldn't know it now by looking at it
Before we cared about the rules we were breaking
Before we were legal age we were drinking
Out there we would never be thinking
About the thought of everything changing
We were hanging outside the in crowd
Hometown kids just a little too loud
Making new friends making mistakes
A highlight reel of outtakes
Still burned into the back of my mind
Those days of gold, frozen in time
We were young and restless
Wild and free
Living in the moment
Before it was a memory
Before that old chevy died
Before the price of gas was way too high
We'd put a 10 in the tank and drive
Didn't know we were running on borrowed time
We were hanging outside the in crowd
Hometown kids just a little too loud
Making new friends making mistakes
A highlight reel of outtakes
Still burned into the back of my mind
Those days of gold, frozen in time
We were young and restless
Wild and free
Living in the moment
Before it was a memory
Before it was a memory
Before it was a memory it was everything
The beginning of best friends and big dreams
We never worried about anything
Anything cause
We were hanging outside the in crowd
Hometown kids just a little too loud
Making new friends making mistakes
A highlight reel of outtakes
Still burned into the back of my mind
Those days of gold, frozen in time
We were young and restless
Wild and free
Living in the moment
Before it was a memory
Before it was a memory
