We would laugh till we cried
Getting drunk, getting high
When we didn’t know how
We were chasing the dawn
Getting lost in a song
Trying to figure it out
Sometimes the things you want ain’t what you need
Sometimes you know a dream is just a dream
But we
We made it look easy
We made it look easy
We were broke-down cars chasing shooting stars
We were full of seventeen
And we made it look easy
Didn’t we?
Look at us, blood on blood
Same today as it was
Been a hell of a ride
Jersey shore cover bands
Couple friends in the stands
On a Saturday night
Sometimes the things you want ain’t what you need
Sometimes you know a dream is just a dream
But we
We made it look easy
We made it look easy
We were broke-down cars chasing shooting stars
We were full of seventeen
And we made it look easy
Didn’t we?
Didn’t we?
Didn’t we?
Jersey shore cover bands
Couple friends in the stands
On a Saturday night
We made it look easy
We made it look easy
We made it look easy
We were broke-down cars chasing shooting stars
We were full of seventeen
And we made it look easy
Didn’t we?
Didn’t we?
Oh, didn’t we?
Didn’t we?
