[Chorus] Back then All my heroes was alive Still the greatest of all time We were dancin' to Prince The memories won't end You had to be there, yeah, back then And the sky was blue Now I'm sittin' on my roof Playin' music from the past The memories won't end You had to be there, yeah, back then [Verse 1] Do you remember back then When we was playin' in the streetlights? Back then When we would run away from home, not too far away from home Back then The party never seemed to end We were young and innocent All the places we have been Back then When we was trading cheat codes in the schoolyard Back then When the same scratched-up CD made the rounds Back then Nobody ever had to make a plan Everybody just showed up We knew everybody there [Pre-Chorus] Back then, mm, back then, mm [Chorus] Back then All my heroes was alive Still the greatest of all time We were dancin' to Prince The memories won't end You had to be there, yeah, back then And the sky was blue Now I'm sittin' on my roof Playin' music from the past The memories won't end You had to be there, yeah, back then [Verse 2] In the late '80s, '90s Back when movies didn't have to be so serious Ain't you curious? All these years later All the pages of the stories we wrote And it's still in our soul, yeah It's still in our soul, mm We had numbers memorized Called our friends asked if they could come outside Do you remember that? After all these years I still know my best friend's number by heart And it's still in my head, yeah It's still in my head, mm [Pre-Chorus] Back then, mm, back then, mm [Final Chorus] Back then All my heroes was alive Still the greatest of all time We were dancin' to Prince The memories won't end You had to be there, yeah, back then And the sky was blue Now I'm sittin' on my roof Playin' music from the past The memories won't end You had to be there, yeah, back then [Post-Chorus / Outro] Back then You had to be there, yeah, back then Back then You had to be there, yeah, back then Back then You had to be there, yeah, back then Back then
