She took a long slow draw of a Pall Mall In the shadows of a Friday night bleacher One Converse Chuck up against the pole She was happy that no one could reach her She kinda dug the way I wore my hair And the t-tops on my old Trans-Am I thought about her when I chose what to wear 'Cause she likes ripped jeans and Ray-Bans Outside Where the wild things run Outside We were children of the sun Outside Where only knew where We got what we wanted Didn't know what we needed Didn't care about the lines we cheated Outside She never let on about her lightnin' eyes But she never wanted to go home Faster we drove down memory lane The tougher her James Dean heart would grow Some nights we'd walk the railroad tracks Down to the river at grist mill And wonder if we were the only ones Livin' for the moment and off the rails Outside Where the wild things run Outside We were children of the sun Outside Where only we knew where We got what we wanted Didn't know what we needed Didn't care about the lines we cheated Outside Every now and then I drift back to that spray paint summer The full moon nights, the overpass Livin' life like a lake cliff jumper Lookin' back it's only now I understand Why she cried when I held her hand Outside Where the wild things run Outside We were children of the sun Outside Where only we knew where We got what we wanted Didn't know what we needed Didn't care about the lines we cheated Outside
