Tonight we’re like the teens we were
years after we faced our fears
All sitting around at this reunion
Laughing and in our eyes are tears
There’s no one out to get us now
There’s nobody we can blame
For how our lives all turned out
At least nothing stayed the same
I look back on those days knowing
We all made it through in one piece
We got through the rites of passage
Our squeaky wheels got the grease
And it feels so good to be here
It’s like no time has passed, it’s true
You can move away from everyone
But your old friends live on in you
Memories are still inside of me
Of life here in our little big town
I remember how Patty beamed as she
got her Football Homecoming crown
All the fun we had just hanging out
Eating our burgers & chicken strips
I’ll always remember how it felt
That kiss from my first girl’s lips
I look back on those days knowing
We all made it through in one piece
We got through the rites of passage
Our squeaky wheels got the grease
And it feels so good to be here
It’s like no time has passed, it’s true
You can move away from everyone
But your old friends live on in you
There are ones who couldn’t be here
But that’s OK, they’re safe and well
They’ll stay alive in all the stories
That we’ll always think of and tell
It feels so good to be with you all
It’s like no time has passed, it’s true
You can move away from everyone
But your old friends live in you
Oh, you can move away from everyone
But your old friends live on in you.
