Growing up wild, young, and free
I was doing anything I wasn't s'posed to be
But I learned real fast, how to cover my tracks
I remember sneaking out with Lindsay and all the cool kids
Who'd been there before but I never did
A double dog dare, and a hell of a kiss
Oh nights like that, are gonna make you want a throwback
I know a song, that gets stuck in my head
It takes me like a time machine to way back when
Lights couldn't burn no brighter, than a Friday night
All the football kings and the drama queens
They were dancing in the dark parked on second street
With the radio on, and not much else
Oh nights like that, are gonna make you want a throwback
Throwback a long pass in the back yard
Throwback to your momma and her worrying heart
Throwback a beer, Throwback a rod
Throwback to some song you ain't ashamed to love
If it takes you back
It's gonna make you wanna throwback
Yeah we were, 19, fell out the nest
No one could blame us we were doing our best
I'll kiss you in the morning baby, I'm working again
Burning the candle, from both ends
We were busting our asses off just to make rent
Remember when a ten would get you, a half a tank of gas
Oh nights like that, are gonna make you want a throwback
Throwback a long pass in the back yard
Throwback to your momma and her worrying heart
Throwback a beer, Throwback a rod
Throwback to some song you ain't ashamed to love
If it takes you back
It's gonna make you wanna throwback
