Best Years

You go to bed before
Morning paper hits your door
Hope that mom and dad won't know
You just snuck through your window
Mother's in her Sunday best
Drags you out to go get blessed
Crazy neighbours down the hall
Always banging on the wall

Crazy neighbours down the hall
Always banging on the wall
Almost makes you kind of proud
You turn up your records loud
All those years were good
Really miss the neighbourhood

Oh, yeah, we will always be together
It doesn't matter how far away you are
Oh, yeah, it didn't last forever
They always said that these were the best years
These were the best years of our lives

You run through a backyard
Hiding from cops in unmarked cars
Friends would put you through a dare
There was chaos everywhere
And you know you can't back down
'Cause they'd run you out of town
Yeah, but when you need a friend
I will help and come defend

And you know you can't back down
'Cause you know they'll run you down
And the rumours travel fast
And you hope this will not last
Oh those years were good
Really miss the neighbourhood

Oh, yeah, we will always be together
It doesn't matter how far away you are
Oh, yeah, it didn't last forever
They always said that these were the best years
These were the best years of our lives

I hope you all survive
I hope you all made it out alive

Oh, yeah, we will always be together
It doesn't matter how far away you are
Oh, yeah, it didn't last forever
They always said that these were the best years
These were the best years of our lives
