Going through my closet the other day
I found an old yearbook
Flipped right to the page of that senior trip
Down there on that Panama strip
We all started yelling when we smelled the beach
Couldn't wait to try our fake I.D.’s
We only had a few days
And a whole lot of memories to make

Oh man, we were living
Didn't waste one minute
We talked and drank and danced and said goodbye
We laughed until we cried

This past year, my family
Was sitting cross-legged 'round the Christmas tree
Listening to granddad
We all knew it probably be his last
He was cracking jokes and we were taking turns
Telling stories 'bout fishing or lessons learned
Out on the porch with him
We all felt like kids again

Oh man, we were living
Sitting there, reminiscing
We sang and talked and traveled back in time
We laughed until we cried

It's like the best days under the sun
Every emotion rolled into one
A little of this a little of that
Kinda happy, kinda sad

Just the other night the baby was crying
So I got out of bed, rocked her awhile
And I held her tight
And I told her it would be all right
And my mind went back to a few years ago
When we tried so long
We almost gave up hope
And I remember you
Coming in and telling me the news

Oh man, we were living
Going crazy in the kitchen
We danced and screamed and held each other tight
We laughed until we cried
