We hopped in the car to golf in the dark
And drove out to Carolyn Lake
We gazed at the stars
And you said they're so far away like the memories we made
When we were younger and we thought
That nights like this should mean the world
I said we're older now
But not a lot has changed
Telling ourselves that we own this town
Only come out when the sun goes down
And all that we need's what we got right now
Telling ourselves that we own this town
Thank God for the road that led us here
We talked up all night
Your hand wrapped in mine
Pretending that we were in love
Your eyes were so bright
I soaked in the light,
Caught up in the memories of
When we were younger and we thought
That nights like this should mean everything
We're older now but not a lot has changed
Telling ourselves that we own this town
Only come out when the sun goes down
And all that we need's what we got right now
Telling ourselves that we own this town
Soon we'll both be leaving
But we'll always have this evening
To remind us of the summer sky tonight
Cause as long as we're both grieving
Then we'll never really leave it behind
Telling ourselves that we own this town
Only come out when the sun goes down
And all that we need's what we got right now
Telling ourselves that we own this town
Thank God for the road that led us here
