Better Every Year
By Mike McCorison and Brad Mays
Bought my first Chevy when I turned 16
Four doors of freedom chasing high school dreams
Painted it blue with a gold race stripe
To hear me tell it now, well you’d think it could fly
CHORUS
And the radio never played nothing
but our favorite songs
And like a movie the girls all loved us
And they sang along
Those stories all age like wine
Somehow they just get better with with time
Drive a little faster, cut class a little more
Break more hearts than we ever did before
We were scared to death, but our t-shirts said “no fear”
Aint it funny how the good old days
Get better every year
Verse:
Those glory days are still etched in my mind
Like the faded marquee on that old drive-in sign
Bending the backroads kids loose in the wind
Wild and young we thought it'd never end
CHORUS
And the radio never played nothing
but our favorite songs
And like a movie the girls all loved us
And they sang along
Those stories all age like wine
Somehow they just get better with with time
Drive a little faster, cut class a little more
Break more hearts than we ever did before
We were scared to death, but our t-shirts said “no fear”
Aint it funny how the good old days
Get better every year
BRIDGE
And when we're telling our stories
When we're all 83
Just imagine how good those days are gonna be
CHORUS
'Cause the radio never played nothing
but our favorite songs
And like a Hollywood movie the girls all loved us
and they danced along
Those stories all age like wine
Somehow they just get better with with time
Drive a little faster, cut class a little more
Break more hearts than we ever did before
We were scared to death, but our t-shirts said “no fear”
Aint it funny how the good old days
Get better every year
(Yeah get better every year)
Woohoooo hoooo oooooo
