Cheap boat, six-pack of something light A fireball burning up a blue sky A Mercury 93, wasn't even half past noon

Yeah, those were the days we thought we'd never lose
But we did, and we miss How it was when we were just kids Lookin' back on the past Wasn't much but it's what we had Just a couple buds and a good buzz was all it was Yeah, a summer love was all it was But that's what memories are made of
