Lyrics
Ten years old, I'd disappear on my old blue Huffy bike
We'd stay gone 'til we heard mom calling out in the moonlight
We just lied when she'd ask us "Hey boys, where y'all been?"
She'd have died if she knew what we were up to way back then
Wasn't long 'til we were sneaking out the window with dad's truck keys
Go sliding in to John's beer store with some girls and fake IDs
Those Friday nights, we tried to score, or at least that was the plan
Some left it all out on the field, some found it underneath the stands
We were just dumb kids
We were gonna do it all
Like some young desperados
Running from the law
So fast, so proud
So stupid, so loud
Just burning at both ends
We were just dumb kids
From crazy dreams to promise rings
Mistakes made in the dark
I missed some turns, crashed and burned
Broke my own heart
An old song just came on the radio
And man, it took me back
I guess it's true when they say
That we grow up way too fast
We were just dumb kids
We were gonna do it all
Like some young desperados
Running from the law
So fast, so proud
So stupid, so loud
Just burning at both ends
We were just dumb kids
I'd be lying if I said there's things that I wouldn't change
Yeah, sometimes I sure miss that boy who thought he knew everything
We were just dumb kids
We were gonna do it all
Like some young desperados
Running from the law
So fast, so proud
So stupid, so loud
Just burning at both ends
Oh, what I wouldn't give to go back there again
When we were just dumb kids
Just dumb kids
