we were that song

we were the wild and the free in the wind

we were the backseat

leaning in

we were the running wild open in the headlights

hearts on fire in the midnight

we were the slow and the dance in the dust

jack and diane with the radio up

we were living the line about loving and learnin'

the falling

the flying

that summertime thing

we were the song on the radio playing

we were the words the singer was singing

yeah

we were the oh

we were the hey

that made you wanna sing along

yeah

we were

we were

we were

we were that song

we were the good and the bye in the rain

we were the lonesome

like a train

we were the let go

we were the heart broke

we didn't know that it would end this way

we were the almost

yeah but not quite

we were the steel guitars that cry

and the line about loving and leaving

and lonely in the might-have-been

the might-have-been

we were the song on the radio playing

we were the words the singer was singing

yeah

we were the oh

we were the hey

that made you wanna sing along

yeah

we were

we were

we were

we were that song

yeah

and it goes oh

and it goes oh

we were heard-it-and-i had-to-call

we were the feeling that you can't shake off

that i was a fool and you were the one

how did i ever let you get so gone?

we were the song on the radio

playing

we were the words the singer was singing

yeah

we were the oh

we were the hey

that made you wanna sing along

yeah

we were

we were

we were

we were that song

and it goes oh

and it goes oh

we were the song on the radio

playing

we were the words the singer was singing

yeah

we were the oh

we were the hey

that made you wanna sing along

yeah

we were

we were

we were

we were that song

we were

we were

we were

we were that song

and it goes oh
