[Verse 1]

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


[Pre-Chorus]

And all day, all night

Keep pressin' rewind

All day, all night

I remember

All day, all night

Keep pressing rewind

All day, all night

I remember


[Chorus]

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

Till there's no more tears

Yeah, tonight can we just hold on to those 18 years

18 years


[Verse 2]

Some ran down the highway

To chase away their ghosts

Some are frozen in the same place

This town inside their bones

Remember throwin' TV's off the overpass onto the tracks, yeah

But the trains roll on through them small town and never look back, yeah


[Pre-Chorus]

And all day, all night

Keep pressin' rewind

All day, all night

I remember

And all day, all night

Keep pressin' rewind

All day

Tell me, do you remember?


[Chorus]

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

Till there's no more tears

Yeah, tonight can we just hold on to those 18 years

18 years


[Bridge]

Yeah, we just hold on

Yeah, we just hold on

Yeah, we just hold on

On those 18 years

Yeah, we just hold on

Yeah, we just hold on

Yeah, we just hold on

18 years

18 years, yeah


[Chorus]

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 of broken dreams

We were crashing like cars

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

Till there's no more tears

Yeah, tonight can we just hold on to those 18 years?

18 years


[Outro]

Can we just hold on

Can we just hold on

Can we just hold on

To those 18 years

Can we just hold on

Can we just hold on

Can we just hold on

To those 18 years
