"Just Kids" lyrics

It wasn't that long ago
Springsteen on stereo
Holding hands on the hood of my truck
Yeah we thought we were all grown up
Midnight in a parking lot
Hearts tied up in a knot
Wonder what you're up to now
Did you ever make it out?

You don't know it's gone 'til it goes
And you hear a song that you used to know
Way back then
Way back when

We were just seventeen in a GMC burning up some Texas street
Just young and wild when you were sliding close on my bench seat
We drove like we stole it
Days that were golden
And nights we won't ever outlive
We were just kids

Half of my meories
Are you holding on to me
Somewhere where the stars still shine
Hell yeah I go back sometime

You don't know it's gone 'til it goes
And you hear a song that you used to know
Way back then
Way back when

We were just seventeen in a GMC burning up some Texas street
Just young and wild when you were sliding close on my bench seat
We drove like we stole it
Days that were golden
And nights we won't ever outlive
We were just kids

'Bout to catch fire
Spending our time
We were just, we were just, we were just kids
Going nowhere
Yeah I wish I could go back there
We were just, we were just, we were just

Seventeen in a GMC burning up some Texas street
Just young and wild when you were sliding close on my bench seat
We drove like we stole it
Days that were golden
And nights we won't ever outlive
We were just kids
We were just kids
We were just kids
We were just kids
