Well I got in my car and pulled out of my drive
Put on some tunes and I was feeling alive
Singing along to a rock and roll song
In the afternoon
I was thinking of days from when I was young
When I knew it all and I was highly strung
Finding my way, but being passé
Like an old cartoon
There's no harm in looking back
Smiling and crying and keeping track
Recalling friends that have come and gone
Thinking of where I went wrong (wrong)
Remembering when I moved on (on)
Grinning and humming along
That's where we came from
I sat in class waiting for the bell
On hot summer days, bored as hell
But those last two years, laughing with my peers
Were a golden time
Once I finished school, I was on my own
Feeling grown up and feeling alone
Showing some zeal, but keeping it real
Was my mountain to climb
There's no harm in looking back
Smiling and crying and keeping track
Recalling friends that have come and gone
Thinking of where I went wrong (wrong)
Remembering when I moved on (on)
Grinning and humming along
That's where we came from
♪
There were times when I won and times when I lost
People that I loved and people that I crossed
Breaking my heart and not feeling smart
That's just the way it goes
I don't regret much at my point of need
Don't stay down long, even if I bleed
Keep my chin up high, as the years go by
Like a wind that blows
There's no harm in looking back
Smiling and crying and keeping track
Recalling friends that have come and gone
Thinking of where I went wrong (wrong)
Remembering when I moved on (on)
Grinning and humming along
That's where we came from
