Wild and Reckless

Well we danced in the back of the pickup truck
 Till the sky turned to roses
 Then we drove into town and we danced some more
 Till the ballrooms all were closin'
 And that red dress baby, that your sister made
 When you dance it sure looks fine
 And when we've both grown old and we're looking back
 On these wild and reckless times
 Are these the best days of our lives
 Well I was seventeen years livin' in this world
 Thinkin' I was gonna live forever
 You were sixteen goin' on twenty-five
 You were swimmin' out in that river
 Well I jumped like a dog into the current, girl
 Leavin' everything I knew behind
 And when I got to the shore in that no man's land
 I guess I knew just what I would find
 In these wild and reckless times
 Oh these wild and reckless, wild and reckless times
 You were never satisfied, but you know I tried
 There was blood on my hands and my shirt and my shoes
 You can trade your soul for the whole wide world
 But there's a deal no man can ever refuse
 When they kicked in the doors
 You know all hell broke loose
 Thought the world must have lost its mind
 And you were sittin' as the chick outside through the field
 Bein' young it just ain't no crime
 Oh in these wild and reckless times
 Yeah these wild and reckless times
 Oh these wild and reckless, wild and reckless times
 I checked out of McLaren, it was July fourth
 As the sky it filled with lightnin'
 And I walked through the streets
 To your old man's place
 But not a single light was shinin'
 And all those busted out windows like a dead man's eyes
 I guess I knew it was a sign
 And if I ever grow old and I'm lookin' back
 On these wild and reckless times
 Where they the best days of our lives
 These wild and reckless times
