Before It Was a Memory

Before there was a house with a white picket

Before there was a yard with a dog in it

Was just a field outside the city limits

You wouldn't know it now by looking at it

Before we cared about the rules we were breaking

Before we were legal age we were drinking

Out there we would never be thinking

About the thought of everything changing

We were hanging outside the in crowd

Hometown kids just a little too loud

Making new friends making mistakes

A highlight reel of outtakes

Still burned into the back of my mind

Those days of gold, frozen in time

We were young and restless

Wild and free

Living in the moment

Before it was a memory

Before that old chevy died

Before the price of gas was way too high

We'd put a 10 in the tank and drive

Didn't know we were running on borrowed time

We were hanging outside the in crowd

Hometown kids just a little too loud

Making new friends making mistakes

A highlight reel of outtakes

Still burned into the back of my mind

Those days of gold, frozen in time

We were young and restless

Wild and free

Living in the moment

Before it was a memory

Before it was a memory

Before it was a memory it was everything

The beginning of best friends and big dreams

We never worried about anything

Anything cause

We were hanging outside the in crowd

Hometown kids just a little too loud

Making new friends making mistakes

A highlight reel of outtakes

Still burned into the back of my mind

Those days of gold, frozen in time

We were young and restless

Wild and free

Living in the moment

Before it was a memory

Before it was a memory
