The boys are grinning from the photograph It's Friday night and they're trying so hard The sun is dropping and they want to go Driving into town to see some girls they know The boys, blazing on a summer night Girls they want to watch them ride Is that the way it was before? 'Cause I don't remember Boys, friends at every bar in town Running all the good days down Is that the way it was before? 'Cause I don't remember We felt like fighters when we caught the plane Until that day we'd never heard its name We did some things we didn't understand And now we feel like strangers in our own land The boys, blazing on a summer night Girls they want to watch them fight Is that the way it was before? 'Cause I can't remember Boys, friends at every bar in town Running all the good days down Is that the way it was before? 'Cause I can't remember This photograph, I hold it when I sleep 'Cause people soon stop asking When I cannot explain what I have seen And at the bars in town All the boys in town Are running all the good days down Running all the good days down Running all the good days down All the good days down
