Growing up wild, young, and free I was doing anything I wasn't s'posed to be But I learned real fast, how to cover my tracks I remember sneaking out with Lindsay and all the cool kids Who'd been there before but I never did A double dog dare, and a hell of a kiss Oh nights like that, are gonna make you want a throwback I know a song, that gets stuck in my head It takes me like a time machine to way back when Lights couldn't burn no brighter, than a Friday night All the football kings and the drama queens They were dancing in the dark parked on second street With the radio on, and not much else Oh nights like that, are gonna make you want a throwback Throwback a long pass in the back yard Throwback to your momma and her worrying heart Throwback a beer, Throwback a rod Throwback to some song you ain't ashamed to love If it takes you back It's gonna make you wanna throwback Yeah we were, 19, fell out the nest No one could blame us we were doing our best I'll kiss you in the morning baby, I'm working again Burning the candle, from both ends We were busting our asses off just to make rent Remember when a ten would get you, a half a tank of gas Oh nights like that, are gonna make you want a throwback Throwback a long pass in the back yard Throwback to your momma and her worrying heart Throwback a beer, Throwback a rod Throwback to some song you ain't ashamed to love If it takes you back It's gonna make you wanna throwback
