lyrics

I remember late nights staring right at the moon
listening to dusty records in my room
waiting for something to come
but all I could hear were the guitars and the drums
I look back on those days, they seem so far away
I remember when she broke my heart, I cried for her to stay
Everything is passing, but I ain't too afraid
I'll get what I want before I see my grave

We sing this song, sing it to the past
now all my friends are leaving, it's moving so damn fast
I'll figure it out with nowhere to go
I got my cigarettes and I got my radio.

High school ended, I felt so free
felt like life had started and no one could stop me
Little did I know, the world ain't that sweet
it chewed me up and spit me out, but I landed on my feet
well sometimes when you're young, you tend to be blind
blinded by the stars and the dreams in your eyes
I gave them up for someone, and she left me far behind
it gave me what I needed so I never lost my mind.

We sing this song, sing it to the past
now all my friends are leaving, it's moving so damn fast
I'll figure it out with nowhere to go
I got my cigarettes and I got my radio.

Now I'm back on track, back on the run
I carry this guitar like some old tommy gun.
Somebody said they did it, that I could do it too
I put those words down, now I'm saying them to you.
I know it's death or glory, there ain't nothing I fear
I won't have a regret, it's gonna be my year
so if you feel beaten, and your legs feel weak
well get up off the floor, and start singing to the beat.

We sing this song, sing it to the past
now all my friends are leaving, it's moving so damn fast
I'll figure it out with nowhere to go
I got my cigarettes and I got my radio.
