[VERSE 1] Mama had the radio up Windows open in July We were fighting for the front seat With nowhere much to drive Corner store was five minutes But we took the longer way Had a pocket full of nothing Still had something left to waste [PRE-HOOK] Funny how you never know You’re in the good old days Till everybody grows And everything gets changed [HOOK] When we had nothing We had all night Streetlights blinking We were alright No money coming No place to be Funny how nothing Felt like everything When we had nothing Nothing, nothing We had everything [VERSE 2] Same old shoes for every weekend Same four songs we played to death Someone laughing in the kitchen Someone yelling, “Who ate it?” We’d make plans we couldn’t pay for Swear we’d own the world someday Now I got things I used to wish for And I’d trade some back today [PRE-HOOK] Funny how you never know Which memory’s gonna stay Some ordinary Tuesday Turns golden with age [HOOK] When we had nothing We had all night Streetlights blinking We were alright No money coming No place to be Funny how nothing Felt like everything When we had nothing Nothing, nothing We had everything [POST-HOOK] Oh, take me back Not forever Just a minute Take me back I just wanna Stand there in it [VERSE 3] I passed the old place yesterday Somebody painted the door The little shop across the street Don’t know our names anymore I almost called everybody Just to say, “Remember when?” But I stared down at the numbers Wondering where I’d even begin [BREAK] We wanted bigger We wanted better Couldn’t wait to get away Nobody told us While we were leaving We’d miss those ordinary days [FINAL HOOK] When we had nothing We had all night Cheap little radio Everything felt right No money coming Whole world to see Funny how nothing Felt like everything When we had nothing Nothing, nothing We had everything [POST-HOOK] Nothing, nothing We had everything Nothing, nothing We had everything [OUTRO] Mama had the radio up… I still know every word.
