In the night
In the beat, city light
We'd steal ourselves away and hold on tight

You were there
Yeah we were all there
Too young, too smart, too much for this one town

We'd get so high we got lost coming down

When we were kids in the street

Kids in the street
When we were kids in the street
Just kids in the street


Remember when we used to laugh, we used to cry
Live and die by the 45

Take me back, I'll go there
Who could stop us, and who would care?
Always keep to the kids in the street


We were dreams
We were American graffiti scenes

No war, no peace, no hope, no means, just us
And the songs
With the words we'd sing wrong

We'd drive until that jealous sun fell down
Just to watch ourselves in the moonlight summer sounds


When we were kids in the street
Kids in the street
When we were kids in the street

Just kids in the street

Remember when we used to laugh, we used to cry

Live and die by the 45
Take me back, I'll go there
Who could stop us, and who would care?

Always keep to the kids in the street

And we never felt so alive

And we'd dance all night under the sky
We'd live, we'd breathe, we'd die
When the world stood still for you and I

Just you and I

Candles burn

'Cause the world will always turn
I'll burn both ends until my fire's out
Lost in the darkness I can still scream out


We used to laugh, we used to cry
Say goodbye to I-35

Take me back, down a dirty road
Where it went we didn't care to know
A glory night is a story saved

Mark the chapter but turn the page
Always keep to the kids in the street


When we were kids in the street
Just kids in the street
