Young Forever

It was new sneakers for the first day of school They weren't name brand and didn't matter they weren't cool Momma used to pack my lunch in a bag We made quite a lot with the little we had My friends saved me a seat on the back of the bus Didn't know any different cus that's just the way things was Didn't know these would be the years that'd fly by so fast Pretty soon how I wish that I could go back Cus it's milkshakes on a Friday night Go cruisin in the full moonlight Catchin catfish in my only fishin hole With my grandpappy's fishin pole Star gazin in the back of pa's pickup truck No way ever gonna give this up If I could make one wish I know Never gonna let this moment go Oh to be young forever Ahhh ahhhh ahhhh Oh to be young forever Ohhh ohhhhh ohhh Sixteen think you know it all Talk is cheap and promises small Dreams bigger than the open sky You still got the best years ahead in your life Savor this moment take it real slow These are the best years yet kid don't you know Take time to laugh till you can't catch your breath You think your time is now you ain't seen nothin yet It's milkshakes on a Friday night Go cruisin in the full moonlight Ten times round the square I know Head back then to watch the rodeo Star gazin in the bed of my truck No way I'm ever gonna give this up If I could make one wish I know Never gonna let this moment go Oh to be young forever Ahhh ahhhhh ahhh Oh to be young forever Ohhh ohhhhh ohhh Went back home just last week Heard my friend Jay died in his sleep The movie theater ain't there no more They tore it down for some big box store Turned left at the four way stop Put up some high end hotel with a coffee shop It's no longer my same hometown I'd like to go back there just one more time But time waits for no one that's what they say Back to the days of innocence and big dreams Where times were simpler, wild, carefree It's milkshakes on a Friday night Go cruisin in the full moonlight Life has its ups and downs However wouldn't change a bit of it now Think I'll go stargazin while chasing fireflies Savor all of life's moments not let them pass me by If I could make one wish I know Never gonna let this moment go Oh to be young forever Ahhh ahhhhh ahhh Oh to be young forever Ohhh ohhhhh ohhh Oh just to be young forever Ahhh ahhhh ahhh I wish I could have stayed young forever Ohhh ohhhhh ohhhhh Well just to be young forever Ahhh ahhh ahhhh I wish I could have stayed young forever Ohhhh ohhhh ohhhh Mmmm
