[Verse 1]
C
We drank our beer in the basement
D
So no one would know
C
We didn't care where the days went
G
Had nowhere to go, center point road
C
When everything was about a kiss
D
And clouds just looked like battleships
C
Helmets crashin' on the field
G
And we thought every love was real
[Chorus]
C
We wrote our own destiny
D
In parkin' lots and empty streets
C
Yeah, we got high on you and me
G
Jumped over cracks beneath our feet
C
And we thought it would never end
D
Then watched it go like summer wind
C
When growin' up was just a dream
G
And Friday night was everything
[Verse 2]
C
Yeah, we didn't worry 'bout nothin'
D
We had it all, yeah
C
And bein' the fastest was somethin'
G
Runnin' the halls, breakin' the law
C
Life was about the party (The party, yeah)
D
Who you are and who you're with
C
Drinkin' 'til your head was sorry
G
Oh, and dancin' for the hell of it, yeah
[Chorus]
C
We wrote our own destiny
D
In parkin' lots and empty streets
C
Yeah, we got high on you and me
G
Jumped over cracks beneath our feet
C
And we thought it would never end
D
Then watched it go like summer wind
C
When growin' up was just a dream
G
And Friday night was everything
[Bridge]
C
Hold on forever (Hold on forever)
D
Yeah, hold onto it (Hold onto it)
C
Yeah, hold on forever (Hold on forever)
G
And never let go of it (Ooh, ooh)
[Bridge 2]
C
Everyone says when you're younger
D
It's gonna go fast
C
It suddenly hits you like thunder
G
And you're gonna wanna go back
(Wanna go back, wanna go back, wanna go back)
[Chorus]
C
We wrote our own destiny
D
In parkin' lots and empty streets
C
Yeah, we got high on you and me
G
Jumped over cracks beneath our feet
C
And we thought it would never end
D
Then watched it go like summer wind
C
When growin' up was just a dream
G
And Friday night was everything
[Outro]
C
We wrote our own destiny
D
In parkin' lots and empty streets
C
When growin' up was just a dream
G
And Friday night was everything
[Song Review]
Ah yes, the bitter sweet moment that you realize that you've gone old. It's like when you are young, you don't have a care in the world and you think that everything is gonna last forever. A LOT of us took it for granted, thinking that we'll never grow old and still have a lot of time. But just a few blinks and you'll suddenly be 30. What will you do then? Take my advice and live every day like it was your last. This song really hits a tender spot in my heart. I applaud you Thomas Rhett for making such a wonderful music.
