Laughed Until We Cried

Goin' through my closet the other day

I found an old yearbook

Flipped right to the page of that senior trip

Down there on that Panama strip

We all started yellin' when we smelled the beach

Couldn't wait to try our fake I.D.'s

We only had a few days

And a whole lot of memories to make

Oh, man, we were livin'

Didn't waste one minute

We talked and drank and danced and said goodbye

We laughed until we cried

This past year my family

Was sittin' cross-legged 'round the Christmas tree

Listenin' to granddad

We all knew it probably be his last

He was crackin' jokes and we were takin' turns

Tellin' stories 'bout fishin' or lessons learned

Out on the porch with him

We all felt like kids again

Oh, man, we were livin'

Sittin' there reminiscin'

We sang and talked and traveled back in time

We laughed until we cried

It's like the best days under the sun

Every emotion rolled into one

A little of this, a little of that

Kinda happy, kinda sad

Just the other night the baby was cryin'

So I got out of bed and rocked her awhile

And I held her tight

And I told her it would be all right

And my mind went back to a few years ago

When we tried so long, we almost gave up hope

And I remember you

Comin' in and tellin' me the news

Oh, man, we were livin'

Goin' crazy in the kitchen

We danced and screamed and held each other tight

We laughed until we cried
