[Verse 1]
A
Sunset through a windshield
                                Bm   G
I can see it now like a picture in a frame
A
Blue jeans and t-shirts, who we were
           Bm     G
We wore it like a name
 
I wish I could go back to those days
 
 
[Chorus]
         A
When the town was the whole world
                      Bm   G
And love was the girl next door
 
Soundtrack was a song in the dark
                       Bm     A
I miss those days when our dreams
 
Were there for chasin'
 
But time was better wasted
Bm      G
We were summer young and livin' for a Friday
            Bm    A
And freedom was a highway

[Verse 2]
A
Barbwire on a fencepost with a crosswind
                      G
On a road no one was on

A
Five deep with our hands up
                          Bm    G
Just singin' along to a hip-hop song
 
I wish I could rewind and replay
