Lyrics
Everybody didn't take that faded paved road less traveled
Take their first steps barefoot on the gravel
Learn everything they know from gettin' knocked down
And gettin' back up again
Everybody didn't learn to drive an old beater farm truck
Make somethin' outta nothin', live down on your luck
Kiss your first girl, drink your first beer on the same dead end
But somebody's gotta burn a little rubber at the red light
Circle round a parking lot fist fight
Raise a little Bible belt hell
Leave a water tower spray paint trail
Somebody's gotta shotgun a two-lane stop sign
Keep the cops on their toes after midnight
Take them small town rules
See how far they'll bend
Yeah, and we were those kids that did
Everybody didn't see the Friday night lights from under the bleachers
Bum Marlboro Reds from the wood shop teacher
Make happy, you'll bag friends with the crowd you didn't mess with
But we were those kids that did
'Cause somebody's gotta burn a little rubber at the red light
Circle round a parking lot fist fight
Raise a little Bible belt hell
Leave a water tower spray paint trail
Somebody's gotta shotgun a two-lane stop sign
Keep the cops on their toes after midnight
Take them small town rules
See how far they'll bend
Yeah, and we were those kids that did
Oh, we were those kids that did
'Cause somebody's gotta back flip off that little river bridge
Cut a couple donuts in a football field
Most of them didn't
But we were those kids that did
Yeah, we did
Somebody's gotta burn a little rubber at the red light
Circle round a parking lot fist fight
Raise a little Bible belt hell
Leave a water tower spray paint trail
Somebody's gotta shotgun a two-lane stop sign
Keep the cops on their toes after midnight
Take them small town rules
See how far they'll bend
Yeah, and we were those kids that did
Yeah, and we were those kids that did
