(Verse 1)
Down in the valley where the river bends,We'd sit by the water, watch the night descend.With a six-string guitar and a heart full of dreams,We'd sing to the stars, or so it seems.
(Chorus)
We were young, wild, and free as the wind,In a love that was real, we both dived in.Oh, the nights in your truck, headlights on the dirt,Every kiss felt like the first.
(Verse 2)
Drive-in movies, holding hands in the dark,Every touch, every look, left a spark.We danced in the rain, under a streetlight's glow,In a small town, where everybody knows.
(Chorus)
We were young, wild, and free as the wind,In a love that was real, we both dived in.Oh, the nights in your truck, headlights on the dirt,Every kiss felt like the first.
(Bridge)
Now the years roll by, but I still recall,The echo of your laugh, the way you'd call.Time changes everything, but some things remain,Like the memory of us, in a love so plain.
(Long guitar solo)
(Chorus)
We were young, wild, and free as the wind,In a love that was real, we both dived in.Oh, the nights in your truck, headlights on the dirt,Every kiss felt like the first.
(Outro)
So here's to us, to love and to youth,To the fireflies and the sweet, simple truth.We might be older, but inside we're still,The kids from the valley, chasing that thrill.
