Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We used to walk along the streets

When the porch lights were shining bright

Before I had somewhere to be

Back when we had all night

[Refrain]

And we were happy

[Verse 2]

I do recall, a good while back

We snuck into the circus

You threw your arms around my neck

Back when I deserved it

[Refrain]

And we were happy

[Chorus]

When it was good, baby

It was good, baby

We showed 'em all up

No one could touch the way we

Laughed in the dark

Talking 'bout your daddy's farm

We were gonna buy someday

[Refrain]

And we were happy

[Verse 3]

We used to watch the sun go down

On the boats in the water

That's sorta how I feel right now

And goodbye's so much harder

[Refrain]

'Cause we were happy

[Chorus]

When it was good, baby

It was good, baby

We showed 'em all up

No one could touch the way we

Laughed in the dark

Talking 'bout your daddy's farm

We were gonna buy someday

[Refrain]

And we were happy

We were happy

[Bridge]

Oh, I hate those voices

Telling me I'm not in love anymore

But they don't give me choices

And that's what these tears are for

[Refrain]

'Cause we were happy

We were happy

[Chorus]

When it was good, baby

It was good, baby

We showed 'em all up

No one could touch the way we

Laughed in the dark

Talking 'bout your daddy's farm

You were gonna marry me

[Refrain]

And we were happy

We were happy

[Outro]

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, we were happy
