Back When We Were Gods

Yeah me Jim and Dan we were all best friends

Riding off like cowboys on a road that never ends

We knew it was our last time for the time of our lives....

See Dan was getting married

Jim was going to desert storm

I was heading off to college

Moving into a dorm

So we took off in that old hot rod

Back when we were gods.

You couldn't tell us nothing

We didn't already know

And if the sign said off limits

You could bet we would go

A hundred miles an hour nonstop

Back when we were gods.

There were Arizona troopers

Trailing close behind

We knew they couldn't touch us

Once we crossed the state line

So we pulled over and showed them a Tennessee moon

From the California side.

L.A. was a nightmare, Vegas was a dream

Dan had won more money than we had ever seen

Didn't take us one day to blow the whole lot

Yeah back when we were gods.

You couldn't tell us nothing

We didn't already know

And if the sign said off limits

You could bet we would go

A hundred miles an hour nonstop

Back when we were gods.

We thought we were invincible

Couldn't nothing bring us down

But it didn't take long

For the real world to knock us flat on the ground

And I hope we were forgiven for all the crazy things we did

After all we were just kids

You couldn't tell us nothing

We didn't already know

And if the sign said off limits

You could bet we would go

A hundred miles an hour nonstop

Back when we were gods.
