Kids in the Street

In the night, in the beat city light

We steal ourselves away and hold on tight

You were there, yeah, we were all there

Too young, too smart, too much for this one town

We'd get so high, we got lost coming down

When we were kids in the street, kids in the street

When we were kids in the street, just kids in the street

Remember when we

We used to laugh, we used to cry

Live and die by the forty-five

Take me back, I'll go there

Who could stop us, and who would care?

Always keep, to the kids in the street

We were dreams, we were American graffiti scenes

But no war, no peace, no hopes, no dreams, just us

And the songs, with the words we'd sing wrong

And we'd drive until that jealous sun fell down

Just to wash ourselves in the moonlight summer sounds

When we were kids in the street, kids in the street

When we were kids in the street, just kids in the street

Remember when we

We used to laugh, we used to cry

Live and die by the forty-five

Take me back, I'll go there

Who could stop us, and who would care?

Always keep, to the kids in the street

(huh, huh, huh) and we never felt, so alive (so alive)

(Huh, huh, huh) and we'd dance, all, night, under the sky (under the sky)

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) and we'd live (we'd live), we'd breathe (we'd breathe), we'd die (we'd die)

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) when the world, stood, still, for you and I

Just (you and I)

Candles burn, 'cause the world will always turn

I'll burn both ends until my fire's out

Lost in the darkness, I can still scream out (aaah)

We used to laugh, we used to cry

Say goodbye to I-35

Take me back, down a dirty road

Where it went, we didn't care to know

A glory night is a story saved

Mark the chapter, but turn the page

Always keep, to kids in the street

When we were kids in the street

Just kids in the street

(Whoa)

(Whoa-ooh)
