The Nights Were Young

But when the sun went down we didn't go home yet
We might've had a few close calls, but we never got caught

So we'd send the older kids to sneak a couple of beers

Now we used to hang out behind the old motel

Though time slips by, the memories remain
We didn't have a care or a worry back then
But we were old enough to have some fun
I could never forget when the nights were young
And we'd laugh until it hurt and we were both in tears

We could count on each other through thick and thin
The nights were young and we swore we'd always be together
Though time slips by, the memories remain
The nights were young and we thought that they would last forever
Nothing could come in between us we swore 'till the end, that's when
But nothing ever does so we'll just have to remember

The nights were young and we thought that they would last forever

Back then they said that we were way too young
But we went our separate ways so we'll just have to remember

And we made a promise that nothing could tear us apart
We would lay on the grass and smoke cigarettes
We couldn't go inside for a couple years more
But nothing ever does so we'll just have to remember
Now we used to stake out the neighborhood liquor store
I could never forget when the nights were young

We'd throw apples at cars and run like hell
Though time slips by, the memories remain
And stare up at the sky and count up all the stars, that's when
The nights were young and we thought that they would last forever
But nothing ever does so we'll just have to remember
