Lyrics
It was blue lights wide open
Describing a moment with bright and intense blue lights.
Reckless chain smoking
Engaging in risky behavior, continuously smoking cigarettes.
Habits that we wouldn’t change
Referring to persistent habits that they were unwilling to change.
We were eighteen and focused
Being 18 years old and having a clear focus.
Ignored what they told us
Ignoring advice or warnings from others.
Daring to prove we could hang
Challenging themselves to demonstrate their ability to endure.
If you weren’t built this tough
Describing a level of toughness that not everyone possesses.
From the same lines of blood
Being connected by family ties or shared ancestry.
Or cut from the same cloth as us
Having a similar background or upbringing.
Then you wouldn’t get it
Excluding those who don't share their experiences.
But that’s how we lived it
Summarizing their lifestyle as unconventional but authentic.
We were slow rollin with fast cars
Moving slowly while having access to fast cars.
Small towns with big hearts
Living in small towns characterized by strong emotions.
If you didn’t grow up in it
Excluding those who didn't grow up in their environment.
Then you wouldn’t get it
Reiterating the idea that outsiders won't understand.
We were chasing that sun round
Pursuing a sense of freedom and happiness symbolized by the sun.
Every street light of this town
Exploring every aspect of their town under the streetlights.
Damn we thought we’d knew it all
Reflecting on the arrogance of youth, thinking they knew everything.
It was church signs and first times
Recalling experiences related to church signs and first romantic encounters.
We’d take those long drives
Taking extended drives, passing by a significant highway cross.
Pass by that highway cross
Referencing a shared symbol or landmark in their community.
If you weren’t built this tough
Reiterating the idea of toughness based on shared bloodlines.
From the same lines of blood
Highlighting the importance of familial connections.
Or cut from the same cloth as us
Emphasizing the uniqueness of their collective identity.
Then you wouldn’t get it
Excluding those who can't relate to their experiences.
But that’s how we lived it
Reaffirming the authenticity of their unconventional lifestyle.
We were slow rollin with fast cars
Continuing to live at their own pace with fast cars.
Small towns with big hearts
Residing in small towns known for their passionate residents.
If you didn’t grow up in it
Reiterating that outsiders won't comprehend their upbringing.
Then you wouldn’t get it
Stressing the exclusivity of their shared experiences.
You wouldn't get it
Repeating the idea that those outside their circle won't understand.
If you weren’t built this tough
Reiterating the criteria of toughness and shared heritage for understanding.
From the same lines of blood
Emphasizing the importance of shared bloodlines and identity.
Or cut from the same cloth as us
Underlining the significance of a common background.
Then you wouldn’t get it
Reiterating that outsiders won't grasp their unique experiences.
But That’s how we lived it
Reaffirming the authenticity of their unconventional lifestyle.
Then you wouldn't get it
Repeating the notion that those outside their circle won't understand.
But that's how we lived it
Stressing the consistency of their unconventional lifestyle.
We were slow rollin with fast cars
Continuing to live at their own pace with fast cars.
Small towns with big hearts
Residing in small towns known for their passionate residents.
If you didn’t grow up in it
Reiterating the idea that outsiders won't comprehend their upbringing.
Then you wouldn’t get it
Stressing the exclusivity of their shared experiences.
You wouldn't get it
Repeating the notion that those outside their circle won't understand.
You wouldn't get it
-You wouldn't get it
