We Will Never Be This Young Again

I spoke to myself last night in a dream
I was about twenty-one, it was the craziest thing
And I went to a party with all of my friends
And it brought tears to my eyes to see us together again
And I tried to tell them the way that things change
But they wouldn't listen to me, they all started walking away
So I sung them a song of the beauty of youth
And I brought the rhythm back in, and I told them the truth

I couldn't tell you where this road will lead
If it winds or how it ends
But this is as alive as we will ever be
'Cause we will never be this young again

So, here's to livin' while we're alive
Don't slow down, don't close your eyes
Just raise your glass and breathe it in
'Cause we will never be this young again

Oh
Yeah, yeah
Never be this young again

I woke up in my room and I shot out of bed
And there was a vision of me at seventy-five in my head
He smiled and said, "Boy, you're still in your youth"
Then he sat down and played me this song, same as I'm singin' to you

I couldn't tell you where this road will lead
If it winds or how it ends
But this is alive as we will ever be
We will never be this young again

So, here's to livin' while we're alive
Don't slow down, don't close your eyes
Just raise your glass and breathe it in
'Cause we will never be this young again

Ride the night like a roller coaster
Like the nights back in Oklahoma
Just a sip of the sweet cherry cola
To the stars, supernova
This is young as we'll ever be
So let's be young and free
Come make a memory
Oh, yeah

I say everybody gather 'round
We're goin' out tonight, gonna paint the town
And if we get too deep, we can reel it in
Because we will never be this young again
We will never be
Never be this young again
Never be, never be
Never be this young again
