We Were That Song

We were the wild and the free in the wind

We were the back seat leaning in

We were the running wide open in the headlights

Hearts on fire in the midnight

We were the slow in the dance and the dust

Jack and Diane with the radio up

We were living the line about loving

And learning to fall and to fly in that summertime thing

We were the song on the radio playing

We were the words to sing that we're singing

Yeah, we were the oh, we were the hey

That made you wanna sing along, yeah

We were, we were

We were, we were that song

We were the good and the bye and the rain

We were the lonesome, like a train

We were the let go, we were the heart broke

We didn't know that it would end this way

We were the almost, yeah, but not quite

We were the steel guitars that cry

On the line about loving and leaving

And lonely and the mighta been, the mighta been

We were the song on the radio playing

We were the words to sing that we're singing

Yeah, we were the oh, we were the hey

That made you wanna sing along, yeah

We were, we were

We were, we were that song, yeah

And it goes, ohh

And it goes, ohh

We were the herded and I had to call

We were the feeling that you can't shake off

That I was a fool and you were the one

How did I ever let you get so gone?

We were the song on the radio playing

We were the words to sing that we're singing

Yeah, we were the oh, we were the hey

That made you wanna sing along, yeah

We were, we were

We were, we were that song

And it goes, ohh

And it goes, ohh

We were the song on the radio playing

We were the words to sing that we're singing

Yeah, we were the oh, we were the hey

That made you wanna sing along, yeah

We were, we were

We were, we were that song

We were, we were

We were, we were that song, woo

And it goes, ohh
