18 Years Lyrics

Sit down with an old friend
Like time it never stopped
From the cradle to the coffin
We drink until we drop
Yeah, we grew up on the same street
Small town under the hill, yeah
But dreams get lost and buried down
Deep inside the soil there, yeah

All day all night
Keep pressing rewind
All day all night
I remember
All day all night
Keep pressing rewind
All day all night
I remember

We were young, we were wild
We were halfway free
We were kids on the run
On a dead-end street
Looking back in the rear view mirror
You know the view used to be much clearer
But we'll laugh and we'll cry
Till there's no more tears
Yea tonight can we just hold on to those 18 Years
18 years

Some ran down the highway
To chase away their ghosts
Some frozen in the same place
This time inside their bones
Remember throwing TVs off the overpass onto the tracks, yeah
But the trains roll on through the small towns and never looked back, and yeah

All day all night
Keep pressing rewind
All day all night
I remember
All day all night
Keep pressing rewind
All day, tell me do you remember

We were young, we were wild
We were halfway free
We were kids on the run
On a dead-end street
Looking back in the rear view mirror
You know the view used to be much clearer
But we'll laugh and we'll cry
Till there's no more tears
Yea tonight can we just hold on to those 18 years
18 years yeah

Can we just hold on?
Can we just hold on?
Can we just hold on (To those 18 years)
Can we just hold on?
Can we just hold on?
Can we just hold on?
18 years, 18 years, yeah

We were young, we were wild
We were halfway free
We were kids on the run
On a dead-end street
We were building a bridge
Out of broken dreams
We were crashing like cars
When we were 18

We were young, we were wild
We were halfway free
We were kids on the run
On a dead-end street
Looking back in the rear view mirror
You know the view used to be much clearer
But we'll laugh and we'll cry
Till there's no more tears
Yea tonight, can we just hold on to those 18 years

Can we just hold on?
Can we just hold on?
Can we just hold on (Oh yeah, those 18 years)
Can we just hold on?
Can we just hold on?
Can we just hold on?
Oh those 18 years

18 Years

This was inspired by one of Chris Daughtry's longtime best friends. He explained to The Hollywood Reporter : "He's a guy I grew up with, went to school with, lived with for a couple years. We were in my first band and he was the bass player. We kind of learned our instruments together. All the stuff that it talks about... we both worked at the saw mill with my dad. We did in fact throw a TV over the overpass. It was a tube television, just to see it explode on the railroad tracks. I don't endorse that behavior and no one was hurt in the process, but we did do it and I had to incorporate it. We had our first car wreck together. It was definitely the one that had to be the end of the record."
