Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Many years gone by

But it feels like yesterday

I guess a part of me has never changed

And still feels this way

School was nothing but some old man's books

So I didn't waste time on this

And when the summer showed it's sunny face

We'd all meet down at our secret place

[Verse 2]

Just a sixpack and a radio

Down by the river

It was back in the day, hey yeah

When tomorrow was a year away

Down by the river

Down by the river

[Verse 3]

No need for calls, no rush

Man, you just showed up

We shared everything for what you could bring

A lighter and a plastic cup

Somebody always had a broken heart

While somebody just fell in love

And when the sun went down

And the stars came out

It was all we were dreaming of

[Verse 4]

Just a sixpack and a radio

Down by the river

It was back in the day, hey yeah

When tomorrow was a year away

Down by the river

Down by the river

[Verse 5]

There was skinny dipping after midnight

Stealing kisses in the firelight

No job, no plans

Just live, just love, just dance

[Verse 6]

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon

[Verse 7]

Just a sixpack and a radio

Down by the river

It was back in the day, hey yeah

When tomorrow was a year away

Down by the river

Down by the river

[Verse 8]

C'mon
