The Nights Were Young

Can you remember from way back when It was the summer that we became best friends And we made a promise that nothing could tear us apart Now we used to hang out behind the old motel We'd throw apples at cars and run like hell We might've had a few close calls, but we never got caught But when the sun went down we didn't go home yet We would lay on the grass and smoke cigarettes And stare up at the sky and count up all the stars, that's when Chorus: The nights were young and we thought that they would last forever But nothing ever does so we'll just have to remember Though time slips by, the memories remain I could never forget when the nights were young Back then they said that we were way too young But we were old enough to have some fun And we'd laugh until it hurt and we were both in tears Now we used to stake out the neighborhood liquor store We couldn't go inside for a couple years more So we'd send the older kids to sneak a couple of beers We didn't have a care or a worry back then We could count on each other through thick and thin Nothing could come in between us we swore 'till the end, that's when Chorus Solo The nights were young and we thought that they would last forever But nothing ever does so we'll just have to remember The nights were young and we swore we'd always be together But we went our separate ways so we'll just have to remember Though time slips by the memories remain I could never forget when the nights were young
