I'm back in my hometown
And Main Street's dying now
It's like there's nothing left of it
No more high school grounds
They tore that building down
And everything with it I miss
I call up my old friends
So lost since I've seen them
Feels like we're back there instantly to me
We'd all meet at Shawn's
The backyard fire's on
And we'd start telling tales of
How life used to be

The years have come and gone
But these stories carry on looking back
They're better than they used to be

'Cause you should've seen the size of
The guys we were fightin'
And we shouldn't be alive at
The speeds we were driving
But Momma always taught us never
To tell a lie and every ten yard pass
Always turned into twenty
Every girl we were with never cost any money
And we drank more tequila than any man alive
And the story goes on
And gets a little better
Every time we're together

It's funny how we change
And some things stay the same
God, I miss the glory days, always
Daylight getting near
We shed a few more tears
Lord, I love the memories we've made

The years have come and gone
But the stories carry on looking back
They're better than they used to be

'Cause you should've seen the size of
The guys we were fightin'
And we shouldn't be alive at
The speeds we were driving
But Momma always taught us never
To tell a lie and every ten yard pass
Always turned into twenty
Every girl we were with never cost any money
And we drank more tequila than any man alive
And the story goes on
And gets a little better
Every time we're together

Well, you should've seen the size of
The guys we were fightin'
And we shouldn't be alive at
The speeds we were driving
But Momma always taught us never
To tell a lie and every ten yard pass
Always turned into twenty
Every girl we were with never cost any money
And we drank more tequila than any man alive
And the story goes on
And gets a little better
Every time we're together
And the story goes on
And gets a little better
Every time we're together
