Kids I Once Knew

Living wild and free
raisin' hell
them and me
Just blazing trails

Rough and rowdy
causin' trouble
Getting mouthy
seeing double

We had 
no destination, no explanation
no second guessing, without question
along for the ride, we were do or die
yeah that was me
And these kids I once knew

We were crazy and reckless
raisin' cain
Bold and fearless
So insane

Young and witty
breakin' rules
tough and gritty
Skippin' school

Cause' there was 
no destination, no explanation
no second guessing, without question
along for the ride, we were do or die
yeah that was me
And these kids I once knew

Looking back, I thought it'd last forever
life takes off,  before ya know it
years gone by, don't ya know it
Close my eyes and see that motley crew
yeah,  me and these kids I once knew

Cause' there was
no destination, no explanation
no second guessing, without question
along for the ride, we were do or die
yeah that was me
And these kids I once knew
