Young Forever Lyrics

It was new sneakers for the first day of school

They weren't name brand and didn't matter they weren't cool

Momma used to pack my lunch in a bag

We made quite a lot with the little we had

My friends saved me a seat on the back of the bus

Didn't know any different cus that's just the way things was

Didn't know these would be the years that'd fly by so fast

Pretty soon how I wish that I could go back

Cus it's milkshakes on a Friday night

Go cruisin in the full moonlight

Catchin catfish in my only fishin hole

With my grandpappy's fishin pole

Star gazin in the back of pa's pickup truck

No way ever gonna give this up

If I could make one wish I know

Never gonna let this moment go

Oh to be young forever

Ahhh ahhhh ahhhh

Oh to be young forever

Ohhh ohhhhh ohhh

Sixteen think you know it all

Talk is cheap and promises small

Dreams bigger than the open sky

You still got the best years ahead in your life

Savor this moment take it real slow

These are the best years yet kid don't you know

Take time to laugh till you can't catch your breath

You think your time is now you ain't seen nothin yet

It's milkshakes on a Friday night

Go cruisin in the full moonlight

Ten times round the square I know

Head back then to watch the rodeo

Star gazin in the bed of my truck

No way I'm ever gonna give this up

If I could make one wish I know

Never gonna let this moment go

Oh to be young forever

Ahhh ahhhhh ahhh

Oh to be young forever

Ohhh ohhhhh ohhh

Went back home just last week

Heard my friend Jay died in his sleep

The movie theater ain't there no more

They tore it down for some big box store

Turned left at the four way stop

Put up some high end hotel with a coffee shop

It's no longer my same hometown

I'd like to go back there just one more time

But time waits for no one that's what they say

Back to the days of innocence and big dreams

Where times were simpler, wild, carefree

It's milkshakes on a Friday night

Go cruisin in the full moonlight

Life has its ups and downs

However wouldn't change a bit of it now

Think I'll go stargazin while chasing fireflies

Savor all of life's moments not let them pass me by

If I could make one wish I know

Never gonna let this moment go

Oh to be young forever

Ahhh ahhhhh ahhh

Oh to be young forever

Ohhh ohhhhh ohhh

Oh just to be young forever

Ahhh ahhhh ahhh

I wish I could have stayed young forever

Ohhh ohhhhh ohhhhh

Well just to be young forever

Ahhh ahhh ahhhh

I wish I could have stayed young forever

Ohhhh ohhhh ohhhh

Mmmm
