Justin Adams - Back Then Lyrics

We had the small town sayers saying we ain't ever gonna make it
Didn't walk that two-lane talk, naw we were gonna shake it
Nothing to lose, nothing to prove, just Chevy leather seats and me and you
We were out of our minds, we almost got it right

We were blacktop, top-down, singing off pitch, don't stop believing
Calling the shots, they were calling us crazy, summer was hot, but so were you, baby
All in, all night together, nothing else but forever
That look in your eyes, I was looking at freedom, coming alive, but I can still see us back then
Seventeen was just a number on a card, chasing the stars in a getaway car
Little did we know that road was just a dead end, but you couldn't tell us nothing, couldn't tell us nothing back
Then

Back then, you were holding on to me, saying, boy, don't leave me
But you beat me to that line, cause I was thinking the same thing
I guess some things are too good to be true, I tried moving on since you moved
I still think about us, I hope you still think about us

When we were blacktop, top-down, singing off pitch, don't stop believing
Calling the shots, they were calling us crazy, summer was hot, but so were you, baby
All in, all night together, nothing else but forever
That look in your eyes, I was looking at freedom, coming alive, but I can still see us back then
Seventeen was just a number on a card, chasing the stars in a getaway car
Little did we know that road was just a dead end, but you couldn't tell us nothing, couldn't tell us nothing back then

Seventeen was just a number on a card, chasing the stars in a getaway car
Back then, back when
We were blacktop, top-down, singing off pitch, don't stop believing
Calling the shots, they were calling us crazy, summer was hot, but so were you, baby
All in, all night together, nothing else but forever
That look in your eyes, I was looking at freedom, coming alive, but I can still see us back then
Seventeen was just a number on a card, chasing the stars in a getaway car
Little did we know that road was just a dead end, but you couldn't tell us nothing, couldn't tell us nothing back then
