[Verse 1] We had no screen glow, just fireflies 'round Kicked up our heels on the edge of town Hide and seek 'til the moon came low Back in our boots, we’d let it all go [Chorus] No phones rang out, just mama’s call No high scores, just climbin’ tall Stories on porches, tales that grew When life was slow and skies were blue [Verse 2] Ten-cent soda and skinned-up knees Talkin’ big dreams in the summer breeze Paper routes and gravel roads That’s the world we used to know [Bridge 1] Hopscotch hearts and barefoot pride A world where wonder didn’t hide We didn’t need to scroll for bliss We found it all in days like this [Chorus] No phones rang out, just mama’s call No high scores, just climbin’ tall We ran through life like we had wings Back in our boots, with not a thing [Verse 3] Rusty bikes and morning dew Sunday church in our hand-me-down shoes Passing notes and stickball games We knew each face and every name [Verse 4] Creek-side secrets, skipping stones Dad whistlin’ soft as he walked us home Picnic dreams beneath the pines Weren’t rich in gold, but rich in time [Bridge 2] The streetlights flickered like fireflies We'd race 'em home beneath starlit skies Laughing echoes through the trees The soundtrack of our memories [Chorus – Reprise with harmony] No phones rang out, just mama’s call No high scores, just climbin’ tall Hearts were wide, and pockets thin But we were kings in our own skin [Outro – slow and sweet] Back in our boots, where time stood still Chasing the wind over every hill Life was simple, life was free And oh, how good it used to be
