	Story Behind the Song This song was inspired by a little boy playing on a summer's day. It speaks to the heart of youthful dreams amid a changing life and is laced with humor and nostalgia. Lyrics When We Were Young Back in seventy-eight I just couldn't wait To see where my life would go So I packed up everything I owned Into the back of my Camaro And I'd drive all night To do what was right Or sing some song that needed to be sung Oh to do the things we did When we were young Now it takes almost a semi Just to get my kids 'cross town And you might think these are the things That tie a man's life down But the guy inside he must decide If he's still the one Who will do the things we did When we were young When we were young When we were young To do the things we did When we were young Now you and me, we're sitting under a shady tree As the sun above us passes While we watch our kids blow across the lawn Like wind across the fields of summer grasses And the little one he's pullin' on our hands As if to say, "Get of your asses" It's time to do the things you did When you were young Now the difference between him and me Is really no big chasm I just want to leave behind the foolishness But take along the enthusiasm And by all means keep on dreamin' dreams 'Cause happy is a man that has 'em He's gonna do the things we did When we were young
