We'd take a drive just to sing along To every word of them rolling stones Stacy's mom had it going on Lift three doors down, I can see her now Her daughter had a heart that was wild and free If you'd blink 182, then you'd miss me and her Every verse had a story Yeah, them pocket lighter nights lit up our days of glory Back when the air guitars were the only sound And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down Two man dash, four band rolling through this town And that rear view shaker to the kick drum Beating west coast deep in the bucket seats All I ever wanted was right there in that car Back when we were rock stars Back when we were rock stars Nothing like freedom two handles down You singing along, still here now Way too loud and sometimes off key But you sounded like an angel to me You'd make fun of how I threw my hair And threw my fingers up in the air Thought I was Kurt Cobain or Jimmy Page You a sassy synesthete Back when the air guitars were the only sound And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down Two man dash, four band rolling through this town And that rear view shaker to the kick drum Beating west coast deep in the bucket seats All I ever wanted was right there in that car Back when we were rock stars Back when we were rock stars We never ended up on MTV You heard our voices on a CD But in your eyes and in my arms We were each other's rock stars Back when the air guitars were the only sound And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down Two man dash, four band rolling through this town And that rear view shaker to the kick drum Beating west coast deep in the bucket seats All I ever wanted was right there in that car Back when we were rock stars Yeah, back when we were rock stars Back when we were rock stars You and me were rock stars Yeah, baby, you and me Yeah, we were running all night chasing down a dream Howling at the moon, baby, you and me
