Look Back At It
Chasing Memories: A Nostalgic Reflection on Youth and Love
Lyrics
10 dollars in a 2 door glove box
$10 stored in the glove compartment of a two-door car
Bought an Earnhardt shirt from a thrift shop
Purchased a shirt featuring Earnhardt (possibly referring to Dale Earnhardt) from a thrift shop
Yeah I was nervous but I still took my shot
Felt nervous but took a chance
And I picked her up at 8
Picked her up at 8 PM
That night turned into summer
A night evolved into a memorable summer
Young love looking up at the stars we were under
Experienced young love while gazing at the stars
Never once stopped to wonder
Never questioned the future
Where we'd be at 19
Contemplating life at 19
We were living in the good ol days
Living in what would later be considered the "good old days"
Wish we knew we had it made
Reflecting on the value of those times
We were burning up time like tread on a tire
Wasting time recklessly
Sittin' pretty on a riverbank
Sitting attractively on a riverbank
Taking that long way home
Choosing the scenic route home
Living that good life on a dirt road
Enjoying a fulfilling life on a dirt road
Didn't even know we had it
Unaware of the good life until retrospect
Til we took a look back at it
Realizing the goodness upon reflection
"U-HAUL" and twin sized bed frame
Noting a "U-HAUL" and a twin-sized bed frame
Momma cried when I pulled out the driveway
Mom's emotional reaction to departure
I met 'em all in the dorms on the first day
Making friends in dorms on the first day of college
And the rest is history
Summarizing the events as history
We were throwing all nighters in the backyard
Pulling all-nighters in the backyard
Missing class in the back of a cop car
Skipping classes and having encounters with law enforcement
Telling stories bout our hometowns, yelling with the home crowd, and we know now
Sharing stories about hometowns and embracing the local crowd
We were living in the good old days
Living in what would be considered the "good old days"
Wish we knew we had it made
Reflecting on the value of those times (repeated)
We were burning up time like tread on a tire
Wasting time recklessly (repeated)
Sittin' pretty on a riverbank
Sitting attractively on a riverbank (repeated)
Taking that long way home
Choosing the scenic route home (repeated)
Living that good life on a dirt road
Enjoying a fulfilling life on a dirt road (repeated)
Didn't even know we had it
Unaware of the good life until retrospect (repeated)
Til we took a look back at it
Realizing the goodness upon reflection (repeated)
We got remember when's
Recalling shared memories
All the crazy things we did
Reminiscing about past adventures
And now it's sinking in
Acknowledging the impact of those experiences
Yeah it's sinking in
The realization sinking in
We were living in the good old days
Living in what would be considered the "good old days" (repeated)
Wish we knew we had it made
Reflecting on the value of those times (repeated)
We were burning up time like tread on a tire
Wasting time recklessly (repeated)
Sittin' pretty on a riverbank
Sitting attractively on a riverbank (repeated)
Taking that long way home
Choosing the scenic route home (repeated)
Living that good life on a dirt road
Enjoying a fulfilling life on a dirt road (repeated)
Didn't even know we had it
Unaware of the good life until retrospect (repeated)
Til we took a look back at it
Realizing the goodness upon reflection (repeated)
