It's Friday night, County Road Seventeen,
Off we go it's summertime,
Not a care in the world

Well I remember my two best friends and me
Takin' a trip to feel the ocean breeze
Nothing but dreams as far as we could see
Oh I remember When fillin' that tank
Would seem like such a big deal
And how the wind in my hair
With the sun coming up made me feel

Oh well I ain't complaining
About the way things are
Not so long ago life was oh so easy
Now when that innocence seems so far
When it seems so far
What I wouldn't do to make the old days new

Jenny Thompson, our first date
I showed up early, she made me wait
Clumsy conversation with her dad
Well I remember that bright red dress,
The perfect fit
A romantic movie that I let her pick
We were both in the dark
Dreaming of love
Oh I remember how her head on my shoulder
Seemed like such a big deal
And how the touch of her hand
And that very first kiss made me feel

Yeah Well I ain't complaining
About the way things are
Not too long ago life was oh so easy
Now when that innocence seems so far
When it seems so far What I wouldn't do
To make the old days new

Well I've got a thousand reasons
To smile these days
I've got a thousand great memories
That I can't replace
But when there's weight on my shoulders
And tears on my face
Even years from now I know

I'll say I ain't complaining
About the way things are
Not too long ago life was oh so easy
Now when that innocence seems so far
When it seems so far What I wouldn't do
To make the old days new

I ain't complaining
About the way things are
Not too long ago life was oh so easy
Now when that innocence seems so far
When it seems so far What I wouldn't do
To make the old days new
