Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sunset through a windshield, I can see it now
Like a picture in a frame (Picture in a frame)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Blue jeans and t-shirts, who we were
We wore it like a name (Like a name)
I wish I could go back to those days
[Chorus]
When the town was the whole world
And love was the girl next door
Soundtrack was a song in the dark
I miss those days when our dreams
Were there for chasin'
But time was better wasted
We were summer young and livin' for a Friday
And freedom was a highway
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Freedom was a highway
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Barbwire on a fencepost with a crosswind
On a road no one was on (No one was on)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Five deep with our hands up
Just singin' along to a hip-hop song
I wish I could rewind and replay
[Chorus]
When the town was the whole world
And love was the girl next door
Soundtrack was a song in the dark
I miss those days when our dreams
Were there for chasin'
But time was better wasted
We were summer young and livin' for a Friday
And freedom was a highway
Freedom was a highway
[Bridge]
When you're seventeen and drivin'
You don't think about the road runnin' out (Road runnin' out)
No, no, no, no
You just keep your eyes on that horizon
'Cause you're wrapped up in now (Ooh-ooh)
Hey, ooh-yeah
Ooh-yeah, woo
[Bridge]
I wish I could go back to those days
[Chorus]
When the town was the whole world
And love was the girl next door
Soundtrack was a song in the dark
I miss those days when our dreams
Were there for chasin'
But time was better wasted
We were summer young and livin' for a Friday
And freedom was a highway (Freedom was a highway)
Freedom was a highway, baby (Yeah)
[Outro]
And freedom was a highway (Freedom was a highway)
Freedom was a highway
Oh-oh, oh-oh
