I'm back in my hometown

And main street's dying now

It's like there's nothing left of it

No more high school grounds

They tore that building down

And everything with it I miss

I call up my old friends

So long since I've seen them

It's like we're back there instantly to me

We all meet at shawn's

The backyard fire's on

And we start telling tales of how life used to be.

The years have come and gone

But the stories carry on

Looking back they're better than they used to be.

'cause you should have seen the size of the guys we were fighting

And we shouldn't be alive at the speeds we were driving

But mama always taught us to never tell a lie, ooh...

And every ten-yard pass always turned into twenty

Every girl we were with never cost any money

And we drank more tequila than any man alive.

And the story goes on and gets a little better

Every time we're together.

It's funny how we change

And some things stay the same

God, I miss the glory days always

With daylight getting near

We shed a few more tears

Lord, I love the memories we've made.

The years have come and gone

But the stories carry on

Looking back they're better than they used to be.

'cause you should have seen the size of the guys we were fighting

And we shouldn't be alive at the speeds we were driving

But mama always taught us to never tell a lie, ooh...

And every ten-yard pass always turned into twenty

Every girl we were with never cost any money

And we drank more tequila than any man alive.

And the story goes on and gets a little better

Every time we're together.

Well you should have seen the size of the guys we were fighting

And we shouldn't be alive at the speeds we were driving

But mama always taught us to never tell a lie, ooh...

And every ten-yard pass always turned into twenty

Every girl we were with never cost any money

And we drank more tequila than any man alive.

And the story goes on and gets a little better

Every time we're together.

And the story goes on and gets a little better

Every time we're together.
