We were kings of the backseat
High on fumes from an old Ford van
Weekend warrior cover band
The only lessons we ever learned
Came from the words in a song
We didn't know who we were yet
We were just playin' along
Got everybody on a neon high
Throwin' 'em back 'til we're feelin' fine
Borderline the best nights ever
We'd get the crowd singing, whoa whoa
It'd do a lotta good to go back, go back
And do a little more livin' like that
In the days when the only thing that mattered on earth
Was free beer and free bird
Some guy'd send a six pack up
Play somethin' rockin' for us
A Jesse's girl lick through a Marshall stack
A buncha of girls go crazy in the back
They'd push their way up to the dance floor
Makin' eyes looking at us wantin' more
Than just a night on the town
Got everybody on a neon high
Throwin' 'em back 'til we're feelin' fine
Borderline the best nights ever
We'd get the crowd singing, whoa whoa
It'd do a lotta good to go back, go back
And do a little more livin' like that
In the days when the only thing that mattered on earth
Was free beer and free bird
Got everybody on a neon high
Throwin' 'em back 'til we're feelin' fine
Borderline the best nights ever
We'd get the crowd singing, whoa whoa, whoa whoa
It'd do a lotta good to go back, go back
And do a little more livin' like that
In the days when the only thing that mattered on earth
Was free beer and free bird
