18 Years

Sit down with an old friend Like time had never stopped From the cradle to the coffin We'd drink until we drop Yeah, we grew up on the same street Small town under the hill, yeah Where dreams get lost and buried down Deep inside the saw mill, yeah And all day, all night Keep pressin' rewind All day, all night I remember All day, all night Keep pressing rewind All day, all night I remember We were young, we were wild We were halfway free We were kids on the run On a dead-end street Looking back in the rear-view mirror (mirror) You know the view used to be much clearer (clearer) But we'll laugh and we'll cry 'Til there's no more tears Yeah, tonight can we just hold on to those 18 years? 18 years Some ran down the highway To chase away their ghosts Some are frozen in the same place This town inside their bones Remember throwin' TV's off the overpass onto the tracks, yeah But the trains roll on through them small town and never look back, yeah And all day, all night Keep pressin' rewind All day, all night I remember And all day, all night Keep pressin' rewind All day Tell me, do you remember? We were young, we were wild We were halfway free We were kids on the run On a dead-end street Looking back in the rear-view mirror You know the view used to be much clearer But we'll laugh and we'll cry 'Til there's no more tears Yeah, tonight can we just hold on to those 18 years? 18 years Can we just hold on? Can we just hold on? Can we just hold on? (Oh, to those 18 years) Can we just hold on? Can we just hold on? Can we just hold on? Oh, 18 years, 18 years, yeah We were young, we were wild We were halfway free We were kids on the run On a dead-end street We were building a bridge Out of broken dreams We were crashing like cars When we were 18 We were young, we were wild We were halfway free We were kids on the run On a dead-end street Looking back in the rear-view mirror You know the view used to be much clearer Oh, but we'll laugh and we'll cry 'Til there's no more tears Yeah, tonight can we just hold on to those 18 years? Can we just hold on? Can we just hold on? Can we just hold on? (Oh, yeah, those 18 yrs) Can we just hold on? Can we just hold on? Can we just hold on? Oh, those 18 years
