[Verse 1]
We were lovers for the first time
Running all the red lights
The middle finger was our peace sign, yeah
We were sipping on emotions
Smoking and inhaling every moment
It was reckless and we owned it, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
We were high and we were sober
We were on and we were over
We were young and now I'm older
But I'd do it all again
[Chorus]
Getting drunk on a train track
Way back, when we tried our first cigarettes (Oh)
Ten dollars was a fat stack
I'd do it all again (Oh)
Bomber jacket and a snapback
Your dad's black Honda was a Maybach (Oh)
"Re: Stacks" on the playback
I'd do it all again (Oh)
[Verse 2]
We were lovers on a wild ride
Speeding for the finish line
Come until the end of our time, yeah
Started off as a wildfire
Burning down the bridges to our empire
Our love was something they could admire, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
We were high and we were sober
We were on and we were over
We were young and now I'm older
But I'd do it all again
[Chorus]
Getting drunk on a train track
Way back, when we tried our first cigarettes (Oh)
Ten dollars was a fat stack
I'd do it all again (Oh)
Bomber jacket and a snapback
Your dad's black Honda was a Maybach (Oh)
"Re: Stacks" on the playback
I'd do it all again (Oh)
[Post-Chorus]
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh...
Speed speed, speed speed oh oh...
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh...
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh...
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh...
Speed speed, speed speed oh oh...
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh...
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh...
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh...
Speed speed, speed speed oh oh...
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh...
Stack stack, stack stack...
