Going through my closet the other day
Found an old yearbook flipped right to the page
Of that senior trip down there on that panama strip
We all started yellin' when we smelled the beach
Just couldn't wait to try our fake ids
We only had a few days, and a whole lot of memories to make

[Chorus]

Oh man, we were livin' didn't waste one minute
We talked and drank and danced and said goodbye
We laughed until we cried

This past year my family
Was sittin' cross-legged 'round the Christmas tree
Listenin' to Grandad we all knew it'd probably be his last
He was crackin' jokes and we were takin' turns
Tellin' stories 'bout fishin' or lessons learned
Out on the back porch with him, we all felt like kids again

[2nd Chorus]

Oh man, we were livin', sittin' there reminiscin'
Yeah, we sang and talked and traveled back in time
We laughed til we cried

[Bridge]

It's like the best days under the sun
Are every emotion rolled into one
A little of this, a little of that
Kinda happy, kinda sad

Just the other night the baby was cryin'
So i got out of bed and rocked her a while and i held her tight
Told her it would be all right
My mind went back to a few years ago
We tried so long we almost gave up hope
And i remember you, comin' in and tellin' me the news
Oh man we were livin, goin' crazy in the kitchen
We danced and screamed and held each other tight
Oh man we were livin', i'll never forget it
We danced and kissed and thanked the lord that night
We laughed until we cried
