Written from August 2006 through April 2008 in Nashville, Tennessee
Looking back on the good ol’ days
Wild and crazy in my Chevrolet
With just enough money to pay my share
Old enough to know better
Young enough not to care
Yeah, we had us some fun
Time doesn’t walk it runs
Looking back on those summer nights
Paradise by the dashboard lights
Filling up the tank of that ol’ Chevrolet
Twenty bucks went a lot further in those days
Yeah, we had us some fun
Time doesn’t walk it runs
Like a bullet from a gun
Time won’t wait for anyone
Take your best shot at the setting sun
Time goes by like a bullet from a gun
Looking back on the first job I had
Through a friend of a friend of a friend of my dad’s
The hours were long and the pay was bad
But when the weekend rolled around, man, were we all glad
Yeah, we had us some fun
Time doesn’t walk it runs
Like a bullet from a gun
Time won’t wait for anyone
Take your best shot at the setting sun
Time goes by like a bullet from a gun
It burns bright and it burns fast
Hold tight before it slips past
You’re trying hard to outrun
Before it’s gone
Like a bullet from a gun
Looking back on the good ol’ days
Ten years from now, it’ll be today
And as I get older there’s one thing I find
These good old days happen all the time
Hey, we had us some fun
Time doesn’t walk it runs
Like a bullet from a gun
Time won’t wait for anyone
Take your best shot at the setting sun
Time goes by like a bullet from a gun
Like a bullet from a gun
Time won’t wait for anyone
Take your best shot at the setting sun
Time goes by like a bullet from a gun
