Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got the call around midnight
Now I'm headed back to where it all began
These headlights cutting through the darkness
Memories coming back like an old friend
[Verse 2]
Sneaking kisses under high school bleachers
That Friday night touchdown put my name in ink
Late nights, good kids thinking we were bad
Looking forward to the days we'd look back
[Chorus]
We were gonna live forever
Never thought we'd say goodbye
Now one of us ain't here to remember
And I'm just trying to figure out why
We were so damn sure tomorrow would wait
Now I'm driving through the life we made
We were gonna live forever
Guess forever runs out of time
[Verse 3]
Now we're all out here on these winding roads
Chasing life, telling stories of who we used to be
Crazy kids, long nights and love we lost and found
Holding onto those nights like they're all we've got
[Chorus]
We were gonna live forever
Never thought we'd say goodbye
Now one of us ain't here to remember
And I'm just trying to figure out why
We were so damn sure tomorrow would wait
Now I'm driving through the life we made
We were gonna live forever
Guess forever runs out of time
[Bridge]
Funny how these roads we're on
No matter how far we go
They all lead back to where we're from
And tonight we're all coming home
To say goodbye to one of our own
[Chorus]
We were gonna live forever
Never thought we'd say goodbye
Now one of us ain't here to remember
And I'm just trying to figure out why
We were so damn sure tomorrow would wait
Now I'm driving through the life we made
We were gonna live forever
Guess forever runs out of time
[Outro]
Headlights on a dark road
Finally pulling in
Gonna see your face one more time, old friend
In the morning light, we'll say amen
But tonight I'm just glad these roads led me back to this town
