Goin' through my closet the other day
I found an old yearbook, flipped right to the page of that senior trip
Down there on that Panama strip
We all started yelling when we smelled the beach
Just couldn't wait to try our fake ID's
We only had a few days
And a whole lot of memories to make

Oh man, we were livin'
Didn't waste one minute
We talked, and drank, and danced, and said goodbye
We laughed until we cried

This past year my family
Was sittin' cross-legged 'round the Christmas tree listenin' to granddad
We all knew it'd probably be his last
He was crackin' jokes, and we were takin' turns
Tellin' stories 'bout fishin' or lessons learned
Out on the porch with him
We all felt like kids again

Oh man, we were livin'
Sittin' there reminiscin'
We sang, and talked, and traveled back in time
We laughed until we cried

[Bridge:]
It's like the best days under the sun
Every emotion rolled into one
A little of this, a little of that
Kinda happy, kinda sad

Just the other night the baby was cryin'
So I got out of bed and rocked her awhile, and I held her tight
And I told her it would be all right
And my mind went back to a few years ago
When we tried so long, we almost gave up hope
And I remember you comin' in and tellin' me the news

Oh man, we were livin'
Goin' crazy in the kitchen
We danced, and screamed, and held each other tight
We laughed until we cried
