A lot of trucks lined up down by the lake Drinkin' beer on the back of the tailgate Boys from the valley wanna start a fire Hey baby, what you wanna do tonight? The only fear a rebel heart knows Nothing to do and anything goes Looking back on those days of thunder Shake my head and I have to wonder How we ever made it through that Girl tonight you're taking me back Desert road and a restless wind Ain't it good to feel that way again? Here we are the way we were In those days of thunder That ole ford is sure fast on the draw Out gunned the Chevys and out run the law Out skirts of town looking down on the light Waitin' for some kind of lightening to strike The cars and the bars, the songs we knew have changed The fire that burns inside us still remain Looking back on those days of thunder Shake my head and I have to wonder How we ever made it through that Girl tonight you're taking me back Desert road and a restless wind Ain't it good to feel that way again? Here we are the way we were In those days of thunder Ehh-ehh, looking back on those days of thunder Shake my head and I have to wonder How we ever made it through that Girl tonight you're taking me back Desert road and a restless wind Ain't it good to feel that way again? Here we are the way we were In those days of thunder Those days of thunder, ehh-ehh

Love is a setting sun Is a smoking gun Is a 4 letter word I hope it hurts Love is a fatal flaw Is a broken jaw Is a burning bridge Move your hips And the ghost of the boulevard Littered with lonely hearts The city like a graveyard Once was a postcard When you lose your wonder And you can't remember When we were living in the days of thunder Living in the days of thunder Living in the days of thunder Living in the days of thunder Living in the days of... Love was a dream to have Was a kingsize bed Was an escape plan Was an open hand Now it's a dog from hell It's a dream you sell It's an epitaph It's photograph And the ghost of the boulevard Littered with lonely hearts The city like a graveyard Once was a postcard When you lose your wonder And you can't remember When we were living in the days of thunder Living in the days of thunder Living in the days of thunder Living in the days of thunder Living in the days of... Living in the days of thunder Living in the days of thunder Living in the days of thunder Living in the days of thunder Living in the days of... (Days of thunder) (Days of thunder) (Days of thunder)

Out of the fire like catholic saints Comes scarlett and her deep complaint Mimicking tenderness she sees In sentimental movies A celluloid rider comes to town Cinematic lovers sway Plantations and sweeping ballroom gowns Take her breath away Out in the wind in crinolines Chasing the ghosts of gable and flynn Through stand-in boys and extra players Magnolias hopeful in her auburn hair She comes from a school of southern charm She likes to have things her way Any man in the world holding out his arm Would soon be made to pay Friends have told her not so proud Neighbors trying to sleep and yelling "not so loud" Lovers in anger "block of ice" Harder and harder just to be nice Given in the night to dark dreams From the dark things she feels She covers her eyes in the x-rated scenes Running from the reels Beauty and madness to be praised 'Cause it is not easy to be brave To walk around in so much need To carry the weight of all that greed Dressed in stolen clothes she stands Cast iron and frail With her impossibly gentle hands And her blood-red fingernails Out of the fire and still smoldering She says "a woman must have everything" Shades of scarlett conquering She says "a woman must have everything"

We take a drive just to sing along Every word of them Rolling Stones Stacey's mom had it goin' on Lived three doors down, I can see her now Her daughter had a heart that was wild and free If you Blink-182, then you'd miss me and her Every verse had a story Yeah, them pocket lighter nights lit up our days of glory Back when the air guitars were the only sound And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down Two-man dashboard band rollin' through this town Had that rearview shakin' to the kick-drum beat Leanin' West Coast deep in the bucket seats All I ever wanted was right there in that car Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Nothin' like freedom two windows down You singin' along, still hear it now Way too loud and sometimes off key But you sounded like an angel to me You'd make fun of how I threw my head And threw my fingers up in the air Thought I was Kurt Cobain or Jimmy Page You were at side seat, center stage Back when the air guitars were the only sound And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down Two-man dashboard band rollin' through this town And that rearview shakin' to the kick-drum beat Leanin' West Coast deep in the bucket seats All I ever wanted was right there in that car Back when we were rockstars Back when we were rockstars We never ended up on MTV Or heard our voices on a CD But in your eyes and in my arms We were each other's rockstars Back when the air guitars were the only sound And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down Two-man dashboard band rollin' through this town Had that rearview shakin' to the kick-drum beat Leeanin' West Coast deep in the bucket seats All I ever wanted was right there in that car Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Yeah, back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) You and me were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) oh yeah (Running all night, chasing down a dream) Yeah, we were runnin' all night, chasing down a dream Howlin' at the moon, baby, you and me
