Remembering the old high school days and keeping the memories alive after all the years
Better Every Year
Bought my first Chevy when I turned 16
Four doors of freedom chasing high school dreams
Painted it midnight blue with a gold race stripe
To hear me tell it now, you’d think that Cavalier could fly
CHORUS
And the radio never played nothing but our favorite songs
And like a movie the girls all loved us and they sang along
We drove a little faster, cut class a little more
Broke more hearts than we ever did before
We were scared to death, but our t-shirts said “no fear, no fear”
Ain’t it funny how the good old days
Get better every year
VERSE
That nervous first kiss
Was perfected with time
Til I was a back seat legend
Even if in just the back of my mind
Sneaking out after curfew
For wild keggers at the lake
Was just a six pack of beer
Me and my friends split seven ways
CHORUS
And the radio never played nothing but our favorite songs
And like a movie the girls all loved us and they sang along
We drove a little faster, cut class a little more
Broke more hearts than we ever did before
We were scared to death, but our t-shirts said “no fear, no fear”
Ain’t it funny how the good old days
Get better every year
BRIDGE
And when we're telling our stories
When we're all 83
Just imagine how good those glory days are gonna be
CHORUS
Cause the radio never played nothing but our favorite songs
And like a Hollywood movie the girls loved us and they danced along
We drove a little faster, cut class a little more
Broke more hearts than we ever did before
We were scared to death, but our t-shirts said “no fear, no fear”
Ain’t it funny how the good old days
Get better every year
Yeah better every year
Woo hoooo
