Top down, bad brakes

Three miles a gallon

Three gallons, five bucks

Shortcuts, unpaved

Roads that lead to nowhere

But somewhere seems to find us

This is gonna be the old way one day

That never really crossed my mind

If I could go back there right now

I'd cut a deal with Father Time

I wanna live back there, back then

But then again, right where I am

Ain't just some brand-new someday

This is gonna be the old way one day

Porch swing, boyfriend

Daddy's cleaning shotguns

Right there on the front steps

Heartbreak, I hated him

Mama's drying tears up

For seven months of sunsets

This is gonna be the old way one day

That never really crossed my mind

If I could go back there right now

I'd cut a deal with Father Time

I wanna live back there, back then

But then again, right where I am

Ain't just some brand-new someday

This is gonna be the old way one day

This is gonna be the old way one day

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Right here, right now

I'm barefoot on the front porch

Watching the sun go down

This is gonna be the old way one day

I'm gonna hold that thought in mind

And make the most of what I've got

Instead of holding up Father Time

I might miss back there, back then

But then again, right where I am

Ain't just some brand-new someday

This is gonna be the old way one day

This is gonna be the old way one day

The old way one day

This is gonna be the old way one day

Ooh-ooh

This is gonna be the old way one day
