I grew up in a space age scene
Along with surfboards and the American Dream
Oh, I never went steady with the homecoming queen
'Course I never was captain of the football team
I wish those days were back again
Oh, do you remember when
Those days of candy apple red, metal flake
Cruisin' with your baby in your old man's '88
Lookin' for a homerun, gettin' thrown out at the plate
Oh, give me back those days
I'd skip school when the waves were good
I had me chrome scoop on my hood
I'd be lyin' like a fool sayin' I went all the way
I'd do anything to relive those days
But I wish those days were back again
Oh, do you remember when
Those days of candy apple red, metal flake
Cruisin' with your baby in your old man's '88
Lookin' for a homerun, gettin' thrown out at the plate
Oh, give me back those days
I wish those days were back again
Oh, do you remember when
Candy apple red, metal flake
Cruisin' with your baby in your old man's '88
Lookin' for a homerun, I'm just lookin' for a date
Oh, give me back those days
Those days of candy apple red, metal flake
Cruisin' with your baby in your old man's '88
Wish he'd had a Rambler, front seat's way back all the way
Oh, give me back those days
Oh, give me back those days
