Back in the Day Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I had a fake ID that looked nothin' like me
But my Jeep looked sweet up on thirty-three's
I 'member chokin' on smokes down at the creek
And braggin' 'bout kissin' that homecomin' queen

[Chorus]
Back in the day, we were small town stars
Snuck a little beer, cranked a lotta Garth
Down on the farm, out on the lake, livin' it up, we did it our way
Back in the day, we were draggin' the strip
Waitin' on green, pop the clutch, let it rip
Tryin' to get lucky with a honey on a Friday night after the game
Back in the day

[Verse 2]
Heads and tails on a fifty yard line
Puttin' buck shot holes on a county road sign
Yeah, I fell in love a couple times
A couple of them girls still cross my mind

[Chorus]
Back in the day, we were small town stars
Snuck a little beer, cranked a lotta Garth
Down on the farm, out on the lake, livin' it up, we did it our way
Back in the day, we were draggin' the strip
Waitin' on green, pop the clutch, let it rip
Tryin' to get lucky with a honey on a Friday night after the game
Back in the day
Back in the day
[Bridge]
There ain't nothin' really changed, naw
We're still doin' it up the same way
Just like we did, yeah, back in the day

[Chorus]
'Cause back in the day, we were small town stars
Snuck a little beer, cranked a lotta Garth
Down on the farm, out on the lake, livin' it up, we did it our way
Back in the day, we were draggin' the strip
Waitin' on green, pop the clutch, let it rip
Tryin' to get lucky with a honey on a Friday night after the game
Back in the day

[Tag]
Oh oh woah
Not a care, don't worry 'bout a thing
Oh oh woah
As long as we had gas in the tank
Oh oh woah
That's how we did it, back in the day
Oh oh woah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
