[Verse 1: Colt Ford]
Where freedom ain't free and gas ain't cheap
But we burn main streets in trucks and Jeeps
With the radio up and the windows down
Tryin' to live big in a small town
Hangin' like a pair of power line sneakers
We were tongue-tied underneath the bleachers
With a hometown honey, a little bit of money, and a hand-me-down ID

[Chorus: Charles Kelley & Josh Kelley]
Singin' "Free Bird" and "Free Fallin'"
Senior class and backwoods ballin'
Minimum wage burnin' holes in our pockets
Cups half full with a hole in the bottom
Singin' "Sweet Home" and "Don't Stop Believin'"
No plans that we can't start dreamin'
Short term lovers and lifelong friends
Young Americans

[Verse 2: Colt Ford]
Mom and pop, bottom shelf, top problem
We were flyin' high on a zig-zag rocket
We all knew it all but we didn't know nothin'
Livin' off lovin' and laidback buzzin'

[Chorus: Charles Kelley & Josh Kelley]
Singin' "Free Bird" and "Free Fallin'"
Senior class and backwoods ballin'
Minimum wage burnin' holes in our pockets
Cups half full with a hole in the bottom
Singin' "Sweet Home" and "Don't Stop Believin'"
No plans that we can't start dreamin'
Short term lovers and lifelong friends
Young Americans
