Daughtry - 18 Years

Sit down with an old friend, like time it never stopped
From the cradle to the coffin, we drink until we drop
Yeah, we grew up on the same street, a small town under the hill, yeah
But dreams get lost and buried down, deep inside the soil there, yeah

All day, all night, keep pressing rewind
All day, all night, I remember
All day, all night, keep pressing rewind
All day, all night, I remember

We were young, we were wild, we were halfway free
We were kids on the run, on a dead-end street
Looking back in the rear view mirror
You know the view used to be much clearer
But we'll laugh and we'll cry, 'till there's no more tears
And tonight can we just hold on to those 18 years, 18 years

Some ran down the highway, to chase away their ghosts
Some are frozen in the same place, this time inside their bones
Remember throwing TVs off the overpass onto the tracks, yeah
But the trains roll on through the small towns and never looked back, yeah

All day, all night, keep pressing rewind
All day, all night, I remember
All day, all night, keep pressing rewind
All day, tell me, do you remember We were young, we were wild, we were halfway free
We were kids on the run, on a dead-end street
Looking back in the rear view mirror
You know the view used to be much clearer
But we'll laugh and we'll cry, 'till there's no more tears
And tonight can we just hold on to those 18 years, 18 years

Can we just hold on, can we just hold on
Can we just hold on, to those 18 years
Can we just hold on, can we just hold on
Can we just hold on, 18 years, 18 years, yeah

We were young, we were wild, we were halfway free
We were kids on the run, on a dead-end street
We were building a bridge, out of broken dreams
We were crashing like cars, when we were 18

We were young, we were wild, we were halfway free
We were kids on the run, on a dead-end street
Looking back in the rear view mirror
You know the view used to be much clearer
But we'll laugh and we'll cry, 'till there's no more tears
And tonight can we just hold on to those 18 years

Can we just hold on, can we just hold on
Can we just hold on, oh yeah, on those 18 years
Can we just hold on, can we just hold on
Can we just hold on, oohh, those 18 years
