Cheap boat, 6 pack of something light
A fireball burning up a blue sky
A Mercury 93, wasn't even half pass noon
A first taste of freedom after high school
Breaking hearts, curfews and mamma's rules
I just laugh thinking 'bout all the shit we got into
Yeah, those were the days we thought we'd never lose

But we did, and we miss
How it was when we were just kids
Looking back on the past
Wasn't much but it's what we had
Just a couple buds and a good buzz is all it was
But that's what memories are made of

It's been so long since me and Katy first met
We lost touch as all of the years went
Flying past, fading fast, wishing I could make her mine
There's some things, the same to take you right back
I see her face every time I hear that
Lynyrd Skynyrd vinyl spinning, I'm in her arms in my mind
Yeah, those were the days we thought we'd never lose, never lose

But we did, and we miss
How it was when we were just kids
Looking back on the past
Wasn't much but it's what we had
Just a good buzz from a summer love was all it was
Yeah, that's what memories are made of

Yeah, those were the days we thought we'd never lose

But we did, and we miss
How it was when we were just kids
Looking back on the past
Wasn't much but it's what we had
Just a couple buds and a good buzz was all it was
Yeah, a summer love was all it was
But that's what memories are made of
