When Days Lasted Years

[Verse 1]
I fought the whole Civil War in one afternoon
Still had time for grilled cheese, and made a soup
Before I traveled to the moon on Daddy's broken down John Deere
And under the streetlights, all the neighborhood kids
Would play kick ball 'til our moms called us in
Oh, I remember when days lasted years

[Chorus]
The summer breeze
Grass-stained knees
Endless hours climbing trees
I swear this world was spinning slower then

[Verse 2]
Like back when we were falling in love
I'd wait at your work in my pick-up truck
We'd talk about nothing at the Pizza Hut
Until thеy'd kick us out
Right to our spot down by Pebble Creek
You'd slide a littlе closer on that old bench seat
Oh, life was sweet
When days lasted years

[Chorus]
The summer breeze
August heat
Endless hours with you and me
I swear this world was spinning slower then

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
But now it seems like we don't talk anymore
It's two cups of coffee, and we're both out the door
When did life become such a chore?
With way too much to do
So baby why don't you pencil me in?
I'll stay home from work, and all weekend
We'll love like we did
When days lasted years

[Outro]
Yeah, let's love like we did
When days lasted years
