Cheap boat, 6-pack of something light, a fire ball burning up a blue sky
Mercury at 93, it wasn’t even half past noon
Our first taste of freedom after high school
Breaking hearts, curfews, and mama’s rules
I just laugh, thinking ‘bout all the shit we got into
Yeah those were the days we thought we’d never lose
Chorus 1
But we did, and we miss how it was when we were just kids
Looking back on the past wasn’t much, but it’s what we had
Just a couple buds and a good buzz was all it was
But that’s what memories are made of
It’s been so long since me and Katie first met
We lost touch as all of the years went
Flying past, fading fast, wishing I could make her mine
There’s some things that seem to take you right back
I see her face every time I hear that Lynyrd Skynyrd vinyl spin
I’m in her arms in my mind
Yeah those were the days we thought we’d never lose
Chorus 2
But we did, and we miss how it was when we were just kids
Looking back on the past wasn’t much, but it’s what we had
Just a good buzz from a summer love was all it was
But that’s what memories are made of
Yeah those were the days we thought we’d never lose
Chorus 3
But we did, and we miss how it was when we were just kids
Looking back on the past wasn’t much, but it’s what we had
Just a couple buds and a good buzz was all it was
Yeah a summer love was all it was
But that’s what memories are made of
