Back When The World Was Ours

[Verse 1] We drank from the hose in the heat of July, No bottled water, we turned out just fine. Rode our bikes through the neighbor’s backyard, No fences, no worries, we never strayed far. [Pre-Chorus] Streetlights told us when to go home, No cell phones, but we were never alone. We had the world, but we didn’t know, Now looking back, man, where did it go? [Chorus] Oh, back when the world was ours, Barefoot summers and battle scars. Scraped-up knees, but we didn’t care, The wind in our hair, with time to spare. Didn’t know we had it made, In the sun, in the shade, Oh, back when the world was ours. [Verse 2] Saturday mornings with cartoons and Cheerios, Mixtapes playing on the radio. No locks on doors, just a knock and a smile, We’d stay out late, just running wild. [Pre-Chorus] Streetlights told us when to go home, No cell phones, but we were never alone. We had the world, but we didn’t know, Now looking back, man, where did it go? [Chorus] Oh, back when the world was ours, Barefoot summers and battle scars. Scraped-up knees, but we didn’t care, The wind in our hair, with time to spare. Didn’t know we had it made, In the sun, in the shade, Oh, back when the world was ours. [Bridge] We never locked the front door, We weren’t rich, but we sure weren’t poor. Didn’t need much, just a sky full of stars, Yeah, back when the world was ours. [Outro] Now we’re older, but in my mind, I can hear the laughter, I can press rewind. Wouldn’t trade those days for gold, ’Cause that was the best story ever told.
