[Verse 1]

Was the summer of '89

I fell in love and I learned to drive

Me and Becky didn't waste no time

Went zero to sixty-five one night

Bein' young was gettin' old

We were headed down a dead end road

But we didn't care, we were on a roll

Hangin' on for the ride

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Those lines that we were crossin'

Carelessly tossin' caution to the wind

We were wearin' thin

[Chorus]

We were livin' for the minute

Lovin' every second of it

Fearless, wild and free

Nothin' could stop us

But one day time caught up with us

And woke us up in the middle of our dream

But not before she loved me

She loved me

[Verse 2]

To think we thought that it would last

Now lookin' back I have to laugh

What a mess we made of that

Now I'm not sure that I would want it back

We learned a little bit about love

What it wasn't and what it was

It was fast and it was fun

The beginnin' of the end of us

[Pre-Chorus 2]

But one day that road just ran out

Yeah, I still travel down it now and then

And once again

[Chorus]

We're livin' for the minute

Lovin' every second of it

Fearless, wild and free

Nothin' could stop us

But one day time caught up with us

And woke us up in the middle of our dream

But not before she loved me

[Interlude]

[Chorus]

We were livin' for the minute

Lovin' every second of it

Fearless, wild and free

Nothin' could stop us

But one day time caught up with us

And woke us up in the middle of our dream

But not before she loved me

[Outro]

She loved me

She loved me
