We Run This Town

Seventeen, we owned those streets

Parking lot, that was our spot

That’s where we’d always meet

And we’d roll on out in a pickup truck parade

Stake our claim with a fire in a field in the middle of Nowhere, USA

We’d light the midnight up

[Chorus:]

We'd drive too fast

We'd get too loud

We thought we made the world go ‘round

Nothin’ but a bunch of time to kill

Set up on the big hill

Make a toast, drink it down

Say, yeah man, we run this town

All the girls next door

They’d meet us out there

They couldn’t wait to get away

And come and let down their hair

We were rough around the edges

They were sweet as they could be

They were way too good

But they still let us steal a little kiss before they’d leave

Guess they thought we were cool because

We'd drive too fast

We'd get too loud

Yeah, we thought we made the world go ‘round

Drop it down in four-wheel

Set up on a big hill

And make a toast, drink it down

Say, yeah man, we run this town

From crazy kids to dirt road kings

Oh, we didn’t know nothin'

But we knew everything

[Repeat Chorus]

High five and look around

Damn right, we run this town

Man, I love this town

Come on
