every time we're together

i'm back in my hometown, and main street's dying now, it's like there's nothing left of it, no more high school grounds, they tore that building down, and everything with it i miss, i call up my old friends, so long since i've seen them, it's like we're back there instantly to me, we all meet at shawn's, the backyard fire's on, and we start telling tales of how life used to be, the years have come and gone, but the stories carry on, looking back they're better than they used to be, 'cause you should have seen the size of the guys we were fighting, and we shouldn't be alive at the speeds we were driving, but mama always taught us to never tell a lie, ooh, and every ten-yard pass always turned into twenty, every girl we were with never cost any money, and we drank more tequila than any man alive, and the story goes on and gets a little better, every time we're together, it's funny how we change, and some things stay the same, god, i miss the glory days always, with daylight getting near, we shed a few more tears, lord, i love the memories we've made, the years have come and gone, but the stories carry on, looking back they're better than they used to be, 'cause you should have seen the size of the guys we were fighting, and we shouldn't be alive at the speeds we were driving, but mama always taught us to never tell a lie, ooh, and every ten-yard pass always turned into twenty, every girl we were with never cost any money, and we drank more tequila than any man alive, and the story goes on and gets a little better, every time we're together, well you should have seen the size of the guys we were fighting, and we shouldn't be alive at the speeds we were driving, but mama always taught us to never tell a lie, ooh, and every ten-yard pass always turned into twenty, every girl we were with never cost any money, and we drank more tequila than any man alive, and the story goes on and gets a little better, every time we're together, and the story goes on and gets a little better, every time we're together
