We used to put the top down
The engine roared like thunder
Livin’ for the summer night
And the spell it put us under
Thirty-dollar 8-track
Sounded out the battle cry
As we fought each and every windmill
Of our own design
I can still remember things she said
When we used to set the streets on fire
How we tried to chase the dawn to bed
Down to the wire
Oh, oh, oh
Power-driven exiles
Runnin’ for the shadows
She’d look at me like Sandra Dee
While I’d strike a pose like Brando
Parked beneath the bleachers
The first night that she touched me
Fuel-injected, nervous love
The sweat hung down like honey
I can still remember things she said
Even though I know that youth’s a liar
The pictures just roll inside my head
I’m down to the wire
Oh, oh, oh
I wonder what she’s doin’
Bet she’s doin’ great
Somewhere amid suburban bliss
While I’m stuck in yesterday
Yeah
I can still remember things she said
Even though I know that youth’s a liar
The pictures just roll inside my head
I’m down to the wire
Oh, oh
