Throwing rocks at trains along the railroad tracks
Dead-end kids who’d slipped between the cracks
We spent our time getting high, we did our best to get by
And we said goodbye to the way things were
No one said that life would be so hard
So I planned out my escape with an old guitar
I wrote a song with a stolen riff, if you ain’t got a song, you ain’t got shit
And we said goodbye to the way things were
Sometimes I think of when we were young, we didn’t have a care
Sometimes I wish that life would just stand still
We lit the fire when it all began, then we watched it all burn down again
And we said goodbye to the way things were
Sometimes I think of when we were young, we didn’t have a care
I wanna go back to a simpler place and time
As the night falls, we shed a tear watching all our freedoms disappear
And we said goodbye to the way things were
It was surely a stroke of luck now that I found love
And I didn’t know how fortunate that I was
I said I’d hold on to that girl till it’s time to leave this world
And we said goodbye to the way things were
Sometimes I think of when we were young, we didn’t have a care
Why do all good things come to an end?
Seems like it was just yesterday, the flame of youth was never here to stay
And we said goodbye to the way things were
And we said goodbye to the way things were
And we said goodbye to the way things were
