Yeah, yeah...



I hid a 6-pack of beer in the bushes

The weekend I turned 18

I snuck out the back

While my Mom and Dad

Watched Johnny Carson on TV.



And I picked her up at the end of the road

A red bandana in her hair

I turned the radio up in that old Datson truck

And drove off to God knows where



Those were the days of thunder

That was a magic summer

Young, dumb, and full of wonder

Thinkin' it would last forever



Lovestruck like a bolt of lightning

So strong and so exciting

Rainy nights I still remember

Those days of thunder.



Goin' 90 miles an hour down a two lane road

With just one hand on the wheel

The other one wrapped around her

Findin' out how freedom feels.



'Cause those were the days of thunder

That was a magic summer

Young, dumb, and full of wonder

Thinkin' it would last forever.



Lovestruck like a bolt of lightning

So strong and so exciting

Rainy nights I still remember

Those days of thunder.



We were movin' so fast

Lead foot on the gas

And we never looked back.



'Cause those were the days of thunder

That was a magic summer

Young, dumb, and full of wonder

Thinkin' it would last forever.



Lovestruck like a bolt of lightning

So strong and so exciting

Rainy nights I still remember

Those days of thunder.



Those days of thunder...
