Hanging out on the side streets
Staying out of the street lights
And taking the long way home
Just cruising the back roads
Cranking the stereo
And driving around until dawn
We've come a long, long way from the backroads
And the old streets where we used to lurk when the sun went down
We've come a long, long way through broken hearts and broken dreams
But I wouldn't trade a single day of growing up out here
Walking down the old road
The back way out of town
Trying to stay out of sight
Watching for headlights
See them off in the distance
And look for a place to hide
We've come a long, long way from the backroads
And the old streets where we used to lurk when the sun went down
We've come a long, long way through broken hearts and broken dreams
But I wouldn't trade a single day of growing up out here
