We were doin' everything, except what we'd been told
I remember you bein' fearless
I had an IRoc Z, I was savin' my change for gasoline
So we could steal away into the darkness
It was the simple things, so elusive now it seems
A place to park and a dopamine reaction
How could we forget the way we felt in the moment?
The sweat, the heat, the moonlight and the passion
We said things like forever, even though we had no right to
How could we know? How could we know?
We've been bitchin' since we turned twenty-one
Wasn't life supposed to be more than this?
Wasn't life supposed to be fun?
Sometimes it's like there's nothin' left to look forward to
And it's all been done
Leaves me wishin'wishin' we were twenty-one
You see, lately I've been thinkin' bout the good ole days, Honey,
And I wonder where we got off track
Whatever happened to the heart and soul?
It was as easy once as turnin' up the radio
Whoever thought we'd lose the taste for rock and roll?
We'd sing out loud, drunk and wild as if it were the last time
How could we know? How could we know?
We've been bitchin' since we turned twenty-one
Wasn't life supposed to be more than this?
Wasn't life supposed to be fun?
When lookin' back is all you got to look forward to
And it's all been done
Leaves me wishin' wishin' we were twenty-one
We were so cool once, and we thought we knew it all
We were in love and we were young and strong
We were so damn sure that we'd be long gone before we ever got old
But We've been bitchin' since we turned twenty-one
I thought life was gonna be more than this?
Wasn't life supposed to be fun?
When lookin' back is all you got to look forward to
And it's all been done
Leaves me wishin' leaves me wishin'. It leaves me wishin', wishin' we were twenty-one
