Better When - Eli Brown

We snuck in the back of that college town frat 'Cause they wouldn't let us in the front Threw the Miller Time keg in a Chevrolet bed And we let them horses run Cut a path through the grass yelling, "Kiss my ass!" With a middle finger in the wind We laughed and we drank every now and then I think Man, I'd love to do that again Those were some good times Those were the best nights The freedom ya feel when you're learning to fly And the song on the radio was singing our lives I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight But it looked on fire back then It probably wasn't, but it seemed a little better back when Gravel lot spot by the porta johns 'Bout a quarter mile from the door Worked three weeks for a pair of cheap seats To hear "Never Wanted Nothing More" We were feeling that buzz from a summertime love And a bottle tucked in a boot It's crazy to think that looking back now But back then, we never knew Those were some good times Those were the best nights The freedom ya feel when you're learning to fly And the song on the radio was singing our lives I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight But it looked on fire back then It probably wasn't, but it seemed a little better back when I ain't sayin' that right now ain't right where I wanna be But I swear time adds a little shine to a long-gone memory Those were some good times Those were the best nights The freedom ya feel when you're learning to fly And the song on the radio was singing our lives I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight But it looked on fire back then It probably wasn't, but it seemed a little better back when Yeah, it seemed a little better back when

How can I get through You're older than me and I'm a sad little loner There's nothing to do There's nothing to see and life has passed so quickly You're just like the sun Your face is so bright, it takes me back to comfort I think you're the one The one with the light that makes life alright This is what it looks like, when the world don't let you in This is what it sounds like, when the music won't begin This is what it feels like, when the hell don't seem to stop Yeah this is what it looks like, when the world comes out on top Baby it's me don't you go Maybe it's you that I love I've lived this life all alone Just give me a chance and I'll know This is what it looks like, when the world don't let you in This is what it sounds like, when the music won't begin This is what it feels like, when the hell don't seem to stop Yeah this is what it looks like, when the world comes out on top

We take a drive just to sing along Every word of them Rolling Stones Stacey's mom had it goin' on Lived three doors down, I can see her now Her daughter had a heart that was wild and free If you Blink-182, then you'd miss me and her Every verse had a story Yeah, them pocket lighter nights lit up our days of glory Back when the air guitars were the only sound And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down Two-man dashboard band rollin' through this town Had that rearview shakin' to the kick-drum beat Leanin' West Coast deep in the bucket seats All I ever wanted was right there in that car Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Nothin' like freedom two windows down You singin' along, still hear it now Way too loud and sometimes off key But you sounded like an angel to me You'd make fun of how I threw my head And threw my fingers up in the air Thought I was Kurt Cobain or Jimmy Page You were at side seat, center stage Back when the air guitars were the only sound And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down Two-man dashboard band rollin' through this town And that rearview shakin' to the kick-drum beat Leanin' West Coast deep in the bucket seats All I ever wanted was right there in that car Back when we were rockstars Back when we were rockstars We never ended up on MTV Or heard our voices on a CD But in your eyes and in my arms We were each other's rockstars Back when the air guitars were the only sound And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down Two-man dashboard band rollin' through this town Had that rearview shakin' to the kick-drum beat Leeanin' West Coast deep in the bucket seats All I ever wanted was right there in that car Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Yeah, back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) You and me were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) oh yeah (Running all night, chasing down a dream) Yeah, we were runnin' all night, chasing down a dream Howlin' at the moon, baby, you and me
