I remember when we were young and we always had our hopes up high.
Do you remember when you were the diamond of your mothers eyes?
And how those lullabies would sing you to sleep
But we traded our youth for bottles of whisky and now
Every weekend my friends are singing in tune
With the beat of passing cars as we stumble out of old dive bars
Now were drinking some nights were singing
To all the old mellancamp songs as our lives keep moving on
Across the tracks to the other side of town
Those guys off of Cleveland sure know how to shake 'em down
And we’ll show 'em like we used to shake and move
Call up the girls tell 'em get here soon
No time to waste boys, no we can’t lose
No time to waste boys, no we can’t lose
Every weekend my friends are singing in tune
With the beat of passing cars as we stumble out of old dive bars
Now were drinking some nights were singing
To all the old mellancamp songs as our lives keep moving on
And we’d always dance to the records that we knew
When my parents used to dance in my old living room
And we’d always dance to the records that we knew
When my parents used to dance in my old living room
And we’d always dance to the records that we knew
When my parents used to dance in my old living room
And we’d always dance to the records that we knew
