Hey, do you remember? 20-something years ago Those cold nights in December And the sound of the falling snow The fireplace warming us The VHS movie box Your old broke down touring bus And not a single cloud in the sky If I could go back in time I'd pack my bags right now If I could playback rewind I wouldn't think twice A pair of jeans and a dusty shirt We didn't have a dime No, you and me were poor as dirt All we had was time Hey, do you remember? Sneaking out in the night Me, playing the Fender And you singing, "Oh, it's alright" Beating hearts full of lust Shiny stars over us Just a dream guiding us And not a single cloud in the sky If I could go back in time I'd pack my bags right now If I could playback my life I wouldn't think twice A pair of jeans and a dusty shirt We didn't have a dime No, you and me were poor as dirt All we had was time All we had was time Every bad thing and every good I wouldn't change it if I could 'Cause it all led us up to this Every moment every kiss If I could go back in time I'd pack my bags right now If I could playback rewind I wouldn't think twice A pair of jeans and a dusty shirt We didn't have a dime No, you and me were poor as dirt All we had was time When you and me were poor as dirt And all we had was time
