Back when I went to school
Kids smoked and swore and broke some rules
But I mean, didn't everybody, almost everybody
Fake I.D. bought a quart of beer
Had the devil's rock n' roll ringin' in our ears
And people said, "these kids have got a problem here"
I'm not saying that they weren't right
I've cried and tried to understand
What I'm seeing on the news tonight
I'll admit we were young and foolish
Totally irresponsible
CHORUS:
But nobody died
We all made it home
Well, we'd fuss and fight and make mistakes
But life went on
There were broken hearts and dreams
And wounded pride
But nobody died
Kids got bullied, picked on and teased
But somehow we found our place in the scheme of things
And time heals everything, almost everything
When I look back on the things I've done
Some good, some bad, and I'm really sorry if I hurt anyone
Yeah, I'm really sorry if I hurt anyone
How we'd get from there to here
From Shakespeare and Math and Science
To shots ringin' in our ears
And what's it gonna take to get us back
Get us back to where
CHORUS:
Nobody died
We all made it home
Well, we'd fuss and fight and make mistakes
But life went on
There were broken hearts and dreams
And wounded pride
But nobody died
Nobody died
Nobody died
