Kids That Did

Everybody didn't take that faded paved road less traveled

Take the first steps barefoot on the gravel

Learn everything they know from gettin' knocked down

And gettin' back up again

Everybody didn't learn to drive an old beater farm truck

Make something out of nothing, live down on your luck

Kissed your first girl, drank your first beer on the same dead end

But somebody's gotta burn a little rubber at the red light

Circle round a parking lot, fist fight

Raise a little Bible belt hell

Leave a water tower, spray paint a trail

Somebody's gotta shotgun a two-lane stop sign

Keep the cops on their toes after midnight

Take them small-town rules, see how far they'll bend

Yeah, we were those kids that did

Everybody didn't see the Friday night lights from under the bleachers

Bought Marlboro Reds from the wood shop teacher

Make "have your back friends" with the crowd you didn't mess with

But we were those kids that did

'Cause somebody's gotta burn a little rubber at the red light

Circle round a parking lot, fist fight

Raise a little Bible belt hell

Leave a water tower, spray paint a trail

Somebody's gotta shotgun a two-lane stop sign

Keep the cops on their toes after midnight

Take them small-town rules, see how far they'll bend

Yeah, we were those kids that did

Oh, we were those kids that did

Somebody's gotta backflip off at a little river bridge

Cut a couple donuts in a football field

Most of them didn't, but we were those kids that did

Yeah, we did

Somebody's gotta burn a little rubber at the red light

Circle round a parking lot, fist fight

Raise a little Bible belt hell

Leave a water tower, spray paint a trail

Somebody's gotta shotgun a two-lane stop sign

Keep the cops on their toes after midnight

Take them small-town rules, see how far they'll bend

Yeah, we were those kids that did

Yeah, we were those kids that did
