[Verse 1]
You showed this small-town boy a few new ways to fly
You stole my heart like the stars steal blue from the sky
California cool, too hot to handle
Burning both ends of the candle
Reckless kids did that summer right
[Chorus]
We were the ones
Singing "Bye Bye American Pie," oh
Forever young
Those were the best damn days of my life, oh yeah
Sometimes my mind rewinds and I'm
Somewhere back there with you
Under the sun
Over the moon
[Verse 2]
Never seen a plain white T-shirt look so good, nah
You dreaming out loud, laying back on my Chevy hood
I smile every time the summer rains
Jack and Coke’ll never taste the same
For a moment in time
The universe said you were mine
[Chorus]
We were the ones
Singing "Bye Bye American Pie," oh
Forever young
Those were the best damn days of my life, oh yeah
Sometimes my mind rewinds and I'm
Somewhere back there with you
Under the sun (Under the sun)
Over the moon (Over the moon)
[Bridge]
Oh, do you ever look back, baby? (Do you ever look back, baby?)
Yeah, the times we had, baby (The times we had)
[Chorus]
We were the ones
Singing "Bye Bye American Pie" (Bye-bye, American Pie)
Forever young
Those were the best damn days of my life, yeah
We were the one
Singing "Bye Bye American Pie," oh (Bye-bye, American Pie)
Forever young
Those were the best damn days of my life
Sometimes my mind rewinds and I'm
Somewhere back there with you
Under the sun (Under the sun)
Over the moon (Over the moon)
[Outro]
Under the sun
And over the moon
