In a very tiny car, we set out to drive so far
We were racing against time on some wheels that cost a dime
Oh when we were young, when we thought we owned the road
We'd stay up every night and ride the moonshine
When we were young, ohhhhhh
We were young, ohhhhhh
When we were young
From the cradle to the grave, found on every single page
Is how we tried to leave this land with a single oar in hand
Oh how many times we tried to outgrow the oceans tide
But I knew I was alone after the ship wrecked
When we were young, ohhhhhh
We were young, ohhhhhh
We were young back when we lived up in the band room
We were young when we both drove that tiny car
We were young when Neill and Taryne had to tell us they were pregnant
We were young way back when thirty seemed so far
Oh when we were young
When we finally came of age, we packed up and moved away
And the story that we wrote down somehow unmapped the page
And while we think of glory days, oh how our memories will fade
I'll still stay up every night and ride the moonshine
When we were young, ohhhhhh
We were young, ohhhhhh
When we were young
