Daughtry Lyrics
"18 Years"

Sat down with an old friend like time had never stopped
From the cradle to the coffin
We'd drink until we drop
Yeah we grew up on the same street
Small town under the hill, yeah
Where dreams get lost and buried down deep inside the saw mill, yeah

And all day, all night, keep pressing rewind
All day, all night, I remember
And 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 'til there's no more tears
And tonight can we just hold on to those 18 years
18 years, yeah

Some ran down the highway
to chase away their ghosts
Some are frozen in the same place
This town inside their bones
Remember throwing TVs off the overpass onto the tracks, yeah
But the trains roll on through the small towns and never look 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 'til there's no more tears
Yeah tonight can we just hold on to those 18 years
18 years, yeah

Can we just hold on
Can we just hold on
Can we just hold on -oh
18 years

Can we just hold on
Can we just hold on
Can we just hold on - oh
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 off broken dreams
We were crashing like car 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 'til there's no more tears
Yeah 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
Those 18 years

Can we just hold on
Can we just hold on
Can we just hold on, oh
Those 18 years
