[Verse 1]
Hey, it was bumper-to-bumper around the town square
Windows rolled down, filled with summer air
We were barking tires, peeling outta there
To make the girls stare, make the girls stare

[Verse 2]
Drive from the Sonic across the railroad track
Down to the mall, then make your way back
Take your Route 44 Coke, and pour out half
Make room for Jack, fill it up with Jack and it was

[Chorus]
(Oh, oh) Yeah, we were like kings and queens (Oh, oh)
Cruising South Jackson Street (Oh, oh)
Riding up and down that all night merry-go-round (Oh, oh)
Just more of the same old same (Oh, oh)
Making memories with time to waste (Oh, oh)
And when it ran out, we took one last lap around this town

[Verse 3]
Hot little honey climbing on up in my truck
Rolling along, sitting shotgun
Look like a firecracker coming undone
Make your heart jump
And jump, jump like
[Chorus]
(Oh, oh) Yeah, we were like kings and queens (Oh, oh)
Cruising South Jackson Street (Oh, oh)
Riding up and down that all night merry-go-round (Oh, oh)
Just more of the same old same (Oh, oh)
Making memories with time to waste (Oh, oh)
And when it ran out, we took one last lap around this town

[Bridge]
And every time I come back here
It takes me back to the years
When we would drive around, and around, and around, and around singing

[Chorus]
(Oh, oh) Yeah, we were like kings and queens (Oh, oh)
Cruising South Jackson Street (Oh, oh)
Riding up and down that all night merry-go-round (Oh, oh)
Just more of the same old same (Oh, oh)
Making memories with time to waste (Oh, oh)
And when it ran out, we took one last lap around this town
(Oh, oh) Yeah, we were like kings and queens (Oh, oh)
Cruising South Jackson Street (Oh, oh)
Riding up and down that all night merry-go-round (Oh, oh)
Just more of the same old same (Oh, oh)
Making memories with time to waste (Oh, oh)
And when it ran out, we took one last lap around this town
