Shootin’ dr. Pepper cans with your brand new red ryder That old folding lawn chair makes the perfect x-wing fighter Those no-name baseball cards spinning in your spokes Now that’s cool
Turnin’ 17 and daddy loosens up the curfew Drivin’ home at midnight that old buick smells like perfume Making your own money, having coffee with your folks Now that’s cool
(Chorus:) Knowin’ where you’re goin’ embracin’ where you’ve been Being criticized for standin’ strong in a battle you can’t win Livin’ in a moment you may never see again Let your heart break some rules Now that’s cool
Wakin’ up with your new bride a room beside the ocean 10 years later goin’ back to relive that emotion She tells you what she’s thinking but never says a word Now that’s cool
(Chorus)
The pitcher is your six year old, you’re his full time catcher He gets a new bb gun and “you’ll put your eye out” lecture Your 3 year old is singin’ the song that she just learned Now that’s cool
