Here comes another Friday night,
All the Girls are here.
Crack out the whiskey,
Bring out the wine.
Pour ourselves a little cheer.
Uncork the memories of the years gone by
when we were young and free.
Thought I knew it all way back when,
Ain't life a mystery.
But now I know what I thought I knew back then

[Chorus]

Way back when,
the nights were longer.
Way back when,
We didn't have a care.
Thought we could do it all,
Couldn't wait to be older.
That's what life was then,
Way back when.

Do you remember those high school days,
Kissing in the hall.
What about that old Junction Bridge,
That was a close call.
With fake I.D.'s and pretty please
man we'd go far,
All the way to hell in back
In Suzy's beat up car
Sometimes I wish we could do it all again.

[Chorus]

Way back when,
the nights were longer.
Way back when,
We didn't have a care.
Thought we could do it all,
Couldn't wait to be older.
That's what life was then,
Way back when.

Life's wheel spinning around, bringing us closer
But even knowing what I know now,
I'd do it all over.
And over, and over.
Do you remember?
Way back when,
the nights were longer.
Way back when,
We didn't have a care.
Thought we could do it all,
Couldn't wait to be older.
That's what life was then,
you know, I'd do it all over again
Way back when.
