[Verse 1]
His brother had a Chevy Malibu
I was sitting in the back seat
On some dead end road
We weren’t supposed to know
I remember thinking he would break my heart
I was green as an evergreen
But I fell right in
Never the same again
Duran Duran on the radio
The Wild Boys and the days of gold
I was sitting on his right
On his left was a fresh tattoo

[Chorus]
And man
We were cool

[Verse 2]
His daddy had a drinking problem
My daddy worked way too hard
And we were both running from
What we swore we’d never become
Killing time in a Walgreens parking lot
Mapping out dreams that never came true
When freedom’s all you want
Freedom’s really all you got
Smells like teen spirit on tape cassette
Before we ever heard of the internet
Redemption was a ragtop All we needed was fuel
