Toby Keith Before We Knew They Were Good
Five young guns
For a force between us
Never more than a couple of 'em run at a time
Bold and bored
Standing in gasoline an'
Making sparks with anything we could find
We love our town
But we were 17ers
Riding Around
Giving it the Finger
Those days we made 'em last all night
Those girls we thought were just all right
Those kids the town misunderstood
They were great
Before We knew they were good
Sweatin' in the sun cause
Havin' fun takes money
Payed for a creasy, cuttin' grass
Leanin' on the front porch
Pouring this milk and honey
Smelling like marbowlers and lawnmower gas
we parked at galaxy after where the mallow grew
To the canners tryin' to show them what they knew
Those days we made 'em last all night
Those girls we thought were just all right
Those kids the town misunderstood
They were great
Before we Knew They were
Kids, birds singing "Waiting on the Wings" and
learning to fly (before we knew they were good)
One day they're on the ground
and then you turn around and they're up in the sky
Those days we made 'em last all night
Those girls we thought were just all right
Those kids the town misunderstood
They were great
Before we Knew They were Good
Before We knoew they were good
They were great
