We were seventeen and invincible
Had the world figured out
And the girl on my shoulder told me,

"Everything's gon' be alright (woah-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright (woah-oh)"


Yeah maybe we were in high school
But you never see the ending
When you're young and not pretending, singin',

"Everything's gon' be alright (woah-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright"


Buried her deepest sigh
Stars don't clear my eyes


Now she's got a boyfriend
And I've got a rock band
Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned

Yeah she's in Ohio
And I'm on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows

Cause that's all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around
But she's got a boyfriend now


Then I took a trip out to L.A.
For the girl with a smile

that could take your breathe away, I'm thinkin',
"Everything's gon' be alright (woah-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright (woah-oh)"


Maybe I thought I could sweep in
and sweep her off her feet

And go right back to Boston thinkin',
"Everything's gon' be alright (woah-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright"


The streets keep holding on
But now she's so far gone


Now she's got a boyfriend
And I've got a rock band

Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
Yea she's on the west coast
And I'm on some back road

Driving to the city and then who knows
Cause that's all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around

But she's got a boyfriend now

Take me back to you somehow

with everything that I know now it's so hard
I tore us apart
Take me back to feeling like the world would just keep dealing me the right cards

Now you're just so far

And I'm twenty-three and invincible

Got the world figured out
And the bird on my shoulder told me,
"Everything's gon' be alright (woah-oh)

and that means everything gon' be alright"

Now she's got a boyfriend

And I've got a rock band
'Cause nothing ever really happens the way it's planned
Yeah she's in Ohio

And I'm on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows
'Cause that's all she wrote,

I wish that I could turn this car around
'Cause there she goes
I wish that I could press rewind somehow

But she's got a boyfriend now

She's got a boyfriend now

She's got a boyfriend now
