[Verse 1:]
It was the summer of '89
I fell in love and I learned to drive
Me and Becky did not waste no time
Went zero to 65 one night
Being young was getting old
We were headed down a dead end road.

But we did not care, we were on a roll
Hanging on for the ride
Those lines that we were crossing
Carelessly tossing caution to the wind
We were wearing thin.

[Chorus:]
We were living for the minute living every second of it
Fearless wild and free
Nothing could stop us
But one day time caught up with us
And woke us up in the middle of our dream
But not before she loved me.

[Verse 2:]
To think we thought that it would last
Now looking back I have to laugh
What a mess we made of that
Now I am not sure that I would want it back
We learned a little bit about love
What it was not and what it was
It was fast and it was fun
The beginning of the end of us
But one day that road just ran out
Yeah, I still travel down it now and then, and once again.

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
She loved me
She loved me.
