Lyrics
BLINKED OUR EYES
REMEMBER THE DAYS
WE WERE COOL WITH OUR WILD SUMMER WAYS
LEAVING DUST CLOUDS ON A DIRT ROAD
SITTING REAL CLOSE CRANKING ROCK AND ROLL
SINGING ALONG
WE DROVE ON
CHORUS
RIDIN' IN YOUR PICK UP TRUCK
WHEN WE WERE TWENTY-ONE
FULL OF DREAMS AND LOVE AND LUCK
ALL REVVED UP AND READY TO RUN
YEAH WE TOOK OFF ONE FINE DAY
AND LANDED A DECADE AWAY
MUST HAVE BLINKED OUR EYES
REMEMBER THE NIGHTS
BABY GIRL KEPT US UP WITH HER CRIES
WE'D GRAB THE CAR SEAT, HIT THE HIGHWAY
FINALLY SHE'D SLEEP TO A FOUR-LANE LULLABYE
HUMMING ALONG
WE DROVE ON
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I TOLD YOU WAY BACK THEN
I'D RIDE WITH YOU TIL THE END
AND SO WE'VE COME A LONG LONG WAY
BUT DON'T YOU LOVE HOW WE'VE GOT MILES TO GO
REPEAT CHORUS
TAG
YEAH WE TOOK OFF ONE FINE DAY
AND LANDED DECADES AWAY
MUST HAVE BLINKED OUR EYES
