[ Verse ] They’d been trippin’ up north. Just havin’ fun. They were now headed home. On the southbound one-o-one. The old car struggled. But it’s heater worked alright. His friends all ‘round him. Talkin’ into the night [ Pre-Chorus] Rolling along on the highway of life. Taking the present for granted 'Cause the future looked bright. [Chorus] It was fun while it lasted But it all went so fast. Never take the present for granted Cause’ it’ll soon be the past Make it last. [ Verse ] They talked of the future. Who they wanted to be. Places they’d go. Once they were free. He turned on the radio. Kay-Rock played a song. Jeremy spoke to them. They all sang along. One final grade Needed to be passed. The trip was almost over. Best make it last. [ Pre-Chorus] Rolling along on the highway of life. Taking the present for granted 'Cause the future looked bright. [Chorus] It was fun while it lasted But it all went so fast. Never take the present for granted Cause’ it’ll soon be the past. Make it last. [ Bridge ] He last saw them in gowns. Tossing caps in the sky. They hugged each other. They weren't ready to say bye. They stood there ….alone. On that football field, together. Watching everything they once knew. Fade away …. forever. [ Pre-Chorus] Rolling along on the highway of life. Taking the present for granted 'Cause the future looked bright. [Chorus] It was fun while it lasted But it all went so fast. Never take the present for granted Cause’ it’ll soon be the past Make it last. [ Verse ] He sat in the old car. His friends had all gone. Off being people, seeing places. But, life would go on. Yeah. Life would go on. [ Verse ] He started that old car up. Put it in gear. Revved the engine. Popped the clutch. And got the hell outta’ there. [Outro] It was fun while it lasted But it all went so fast. Never take the present for granted Cause’ it’ll soon be the past. Make it last. Cause it’ll soon be the past. [ Mic Drop ]
