Before We Knew They Were Good

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Five young guns, four old Fords between us Never more than a couple of 'em run at a time Bold and bored, standin' and gasolinin' Makin' sparks with anything we could find We love that town but we were seventeeners Ridin' around giving it the finger [Chorus] Those days we made it last all night Those girls we thought were just all right Those kids that town misunderstood They were great Before we knew they were good [Verse 2] Sweatin' in the sun ''cause Havin' fun takes money Paid for our crazy cuttin' grass Waitin' on the front porch For little miss milk and honey Smellin' like Marlboros and lawnmower gas We parked that Galaxy out there where the milo grew Two beginners tryin' to show each other what they knew [Chorus] Those days we made it last all night Those girls we thought were just all right Those kids that town misunderstood They were great before we knew they were good [Bridge] Caged birds singing, waitin' on their wings and Learnin' to fly (before we knew they were good) One day they're on the ground and then you turn around They're all in the sky [Chorus] Those days we made it last all night Those girls we thought were just all right Those kids that town misunderstood They were great Before we knew they were good Before we knew they were good They were great
