Started out as wide-eyed fools, without a take on life
We never dared to think our dreams would ever be realized
So here we are we're still together, bruised but standing tall
So here it is to all of you, who wouldn't let us fall
For all the places that we've seen
It was you who paved the way
You brought our music in your cases, from New York to LA
In backpacks to Australia
From Frisco to Hong Kong
And when it was raining in Paris
You sang that Summer song
From mouth to ear, from year to year
You passed our music on
Fads and fashions, gear and styles, we were never gone
From worn LPs to mp3s
From father down to son
Its thanks to you in every room
You sang it all night long
For all the places that we've seen
It was you who paved the way
You brought our music in your cases, from New York to LA
In backpacks to Australia
From Frisco to Hong Kong
And when it was raining in Paris
You sang that Summer song
So here's to you who stoked the fire
And brought us all this way
And through the years of rock an roll
It wasn't magic every day
From battered trannies
Camper vans, from chips to vindaloo
For all those crazy ups and downs
We owe it all to you
For all the places that we've seen
It was you who paved the way
You brought our music in your cases, from New York to LA
In backpacks to Australia
From Frisco to Hong Kong
And when it was raining in Paris
You sang that Summer song
For all the places that we've seen
It was you who paved the way
You brought our music in your cases, from New York to LA
In backpacks to Australia
From Frisco to Hong Kong
And when it was raining in Paris
You sang that Summer song
And when it was raining in Paris
You sang that Summer song
