[Verse 1]
Was the summer of '89
I fell in love and I learned to drive
Me and Becky didn't waste no time
Went zero to sixty-five one night
Bein' young was gettin' old
We were headed down a dead end road
But we didn't care, we were on a roll
Hangin' on for the ride

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Those lines that we were crossin'
Carelessly tossin' caution to the wind
We were wearin' thin

[Chorus]
We were livin' for the minute
Lovin' every second of it
Fearless, wild and free
Nothin' could stop us
But one day time caught up with us
And woke us up in the middle of our dream
But not before she loved me
She loved me

[Verse 2]
To think we thought that it would last
Now lookin' back I have to laugh
What a mess we made of that
Now I'm not sure that I'd want it back
We learned a little bit about love
What it wasn't and what it was
It was fast and it was fun
The beginnin' of the end of us
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But one day that road just ran out
Yeah, I still travel down it now and then
And once again

[Chorus]
We're livin' for the minute
Lovin' every second of it
Fearless, wild and free
Nothin' could stop us
But one day time caught up with us
And woke us up in the middle of our dream
But not before she loved me

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
We were livin' for the minute
Lovin' every second of it
Fearless, wild and free
Nothin' could stop us
But one day time caught up with us
And woke us up in the middle of our dream
But not before she loved me

[Outro]
She loved me
She loved me
