Five young guns For a force between us Never more than a couple of 'em run at a time Bold and bored Standing in gasoline an' Making sparks with anything we could find We love our town But we were 17ers Riding Around Giving it the Finger Those days we made 'em last all night Those girls we thought were just all right Those kids the town misunderstood They were great Before We knew they were good Sweatin' in the sun cause Havin' fun takes money Payed for a creasy, cuttin' grass Leanin' on the front porch Pouring this milk and honey Smelling like marbowlers and lawnmower gas We parked at galaxy after where the mallow grew To the canners tryin' to show them what they knew Those days we made 'em last all night Those girls we thought were just all right Those kids the town misunderstood They were great Before we Knew They were Kids, birds singing "Waiting on the Wings" and Learning to fly (before we knew they were good) One day they're on the ground And then you turn around and they're up in the sky Those days we made 'em last all night Those girls we thought were just all right Those kids the town misunderstood They were great Before we Knew They were Good Before We knoew they were good They were great
