You showed this small town boy a few new ways to fly
You stole my heart like the stars steal blue from the sky
California cool, too hot to handle, burning both ends of the candle
Reckless kids did that summer right
We were the ones singing. bye bye American Pie, oh
Forever young, those were the best damn days of my life, oh yeah
Sometimes my mind rewinds and I'm
Somewhere back there with you
Under the sun, over the moon
Never seen a plain white t-shirt look so good, no
You jammin' out loud, laying back on my Chevy hood
I smile every time it summer rains
Jack and Coke will never taste the same
For a moment in time the universe said you were mine
We were the ones singing. bye bye American Pie, oh
Forever young, those were the best damn days of my life, oh yeah
Sometimes my mind rewinds and I'm
Somewhere back there with you
Under the sun (under the sun), over the moon (over the moon)
Oh, do you ever look back, baby? (Do you ever look back, baby?)
Yeah, at the times we had, baby (at the times we had)
We were the ones singing. bye bye American Pie (bye bye, American Pie)
Forever young, those were the best damn days of my life, yeah
We were the ones singing. bye bye American Pie, oh (bye bye, American Pie)
Forever young, those were the best damn days of my life, oh yeah
Sometimes my mind rewinds and I'm
Somewhere back there with you
Under the sun (under the sun), over the moon (over the moon)
Under the sun and over the moon
