The world was young and so we were we
Times were tough, but living was free
Staying out when there were curfews to meet
We learned to love that summer ,

We were 17…
Driving alone in the summer breeze
Listening to our songs on the cassette radio
If I only knew those times would go

We'd drive all night, with nowhere to go
Telling stories bout when we get old
Hanging out in parking lots
Seeing friends that would disappear in

Years to come…
Holding onto time like it would never go
We would talk for hours about nothing at all
If I only knew those times would go

You and me, all alone
In comfortable silence we drive along
Staring out the car window
Somehow knowing

Knowing it was time to go
Driving alone in the summer breeze
Listening to our songs on the cassette radio
If I only knew those times would go
