Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Drove from Knoxville to Myrtle Beach
Seven buddies and an old RV
Beer cooler and no AC
Just to say we did
[Verse 2]
That night, we climbed up Chimney Rock
Knowin' it was a real long drop
Three, two, one, we jumped off
Just to say we did
[PreChorus]
Never had no rhyme or reason why
It just seemed like the thing to do at the time
[Chorus]
Just to say we did
Just to feel alive
To take a leap of faith
To feel that kind of high
[Chorus]
Tonight, let's turn it up, fall in love wild
And catch enough buzz to just ride them
Crazy horses runnin' through our heads
Just to say we did
[Verse 3]
She said, "I've never seen the Vegas lights
Spun the wheel or rolled the dice"
We doubled down on a crazy night
Just to say we did
[PreChorus]
We didn't have no rhyme or reason why
It just seemed like the thing to do at the time
[Chorus]
Just to say we did
Just to feel alive
To take a leap of faith
To feel that kind of high
[Chorus]
Tonight, let's turn it up, fall in love wild
And catch enough buzz to just ride them
Crazy horses runnin' through our heads
Just to say we did
Just to say we did
[Bridge]
So let's raise our hands up to the sky
Stay on this roller coaster ride
[Chorus]
Just to say we did
Just to feel alive
Let's take a leap of faith
To feel that kind of high
[Chorus]
Tonight, let's turn it up, fall in love wild
And catch enough buzz to just ride them
Crazy horses runnin' through our heads
Just to say we did
Just to say we did
Just to say we did
