Used to drive all night to nowhere
In your older sister's car
We would park out by the river
Get real drunk and watch the stars

And I told you that I loved you
It was a little early on
You just laughed and changed the subject
But I knew I wasn't wrong

Looking back at what it was
Oh, love when we were young

Packed our bags and left the city
For a place we've never been
Well changes don't seem scary
When it's you and your best friend

Got a house above the holler
Got some rooms that still need filled
Yeah, we sank in every dollar
For those dreams we've yet to build

If I'd seen it then like I see now
I'd straightened up a bit quicker how
I'd walk that line
And never miss a step

And these older days they're in my blood
They light the way to where I's from
And where I go
Filling every breath

Looking back at what it was
Oh, oh, love when we were young

Same damn meal five nights a week
Pulling at both ends just to make 'em meet
Past due bills so they cut our lights
Slow-danced in the dark all night

All those days we used to fret
About a life that we weren't living yet
And wondering where this life'll let us go

Looking back at what it was
We always had more than enough
And we still got that kind of love
Oh, that love when we were young

That love when we were young
That love when we were young
Love when we were young
