It's Friday night, County Road Seventeen,    Off we go it's summertime,    Not a care in the world       Well I remember my two best friends and me    Takin' a trip to feel the ocean breeze    Nothing but dreams as far as we could see    Oh I remember When fillin' that tank    Would seem like such a big deal    And how the wind in my hair    With the sun coming up made me feel       Oh well I ain't complaining    About the way things are    Not so long ago life was oh so easy    Now when that innocence seems so far   When it seems so far    What I wouldn't do to make the old days new       Jenny Thompson, our first date    I showed up early, she made me wait    Clumsy conversation with her dad    Well I remember that bright red dress,    The perfect fit    A romantic movie that I let her pick    We were both in the dark    Dreaming of love    Oh I remember how her head on my shoulder    Seemed like such a big deal    And how the touch of her hand    And that very first kiss made me feel      Yeah Well I ain't complaining   About the way things are    Not too long ago life was oh so easy    Now when that innocence seems so far   When it seems so far What I wouldn't do    To make the old days new       Well I've got a thousand reasons    To smile these days    I've got a thousand great memories    That I can't replace    But when there's weight on my shoulders    And tears on my face    Even years from now I know       I'll say I ain't complaining    About the way things are    Not too long ago life was oh so easy    Now when that innocence seems so far    When it seems so far What I wouldn't do    To make the old days new       I ain't complaining    About the way things are    Not too long ago life was oh so easy    Now when that innocence seems so far    When it seems so far What I wouldn't do    To make the old days new
