Going through my closet the other day
Found an old yearbook, flipped right to the page
Of that senior trip down there on that Panama strip
We all started yelling when we smelled the beach
Couldn't wait to try our fake IDs
We only had a few days, and a whole lot of memories to make
Chorus
Oh man we were livin', didn't waste one minute
We talked and drank and danced and said goodbye
- -
We laughed until we cried
This past year my family
Was sittin' cross-legged 'round the Christmas tree
Listening to granddad, we all knew it'd probably be his last
He was crackin' jokes and we were takin' turns
Telling stories 'bout fishing or lessons learned
Out on the porch with him we all felt like kids again
2nd chorus
Oh man we were livin', sittin' there reminiscin'
We sang and talked and traveled back in time
We laughed until we cried
Instrumental

Bridge
It's like the best days under the sun
Every emotion rolled into one
A little of this, a little of that
- -
Kinda happy, kinda sad
Just the other night the baby was cryin'
So I got out of bed rocked her awhile
And I held her tight and I told her it would be all right
My mind went back to a few years ago
We tried so long, we almost gave up hope
And I remember you comin' in and tellin' me the news
Chorus
Oh man we were livin', goin' crazy in the kitchen
We danced and screamed and held each other tight

We laughed until we cried
