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
