I’m back in my hometown
And Main Street’s dying now
It’s like there’s nothing left of it
No more high school grounds
They tore that building down
And everything with it I miss
I call up my old friends
So lost since I’ve seen them
Feels like we’re back there instantly to me
We’d all meet at Shawn’s
The backyard fire’s on
And we’d start telling tales of how life used to be
The years have come and gone
But these stories carry on
Looking back, they’re better than they used to be
'Cause you should’ve seen the size of the guys we were fightin'
And we shouldn’t be alive at the speeds we were driving
But Momma always taught us never to tell a lie
And every ten yard pass always turned into twenty
Every girl we were with never cost any money
And we drank more tequila than any man alive
And the story goes on, and gets a little better
Every time we’re together
It’s funny how we change
And some things stay the same
God, I miss the glory days, always
Daylight getting near
We shed a few more tears
Lord, I love the memories we’ve made
The years have come and gone
But the stories carry on
Looking back, they’re better than they used to be
'Cause you should’ve seen the size of the guys we were fightin'
And we shouldn’t be alive at the speeds we were driving
But Momma always taught us never to tell a lie
And every ten yard pass always turned into twenty
Every girl we were with never cost any money
And we drank more tequila than any man alive
And the story goes on, and gets a little better
Every time we’re together
Well, you should’ve seen the size of the guys we were fightin'
And we shouldn’t be alive at the speeds we were driving
But Momma always taught us never to tell a lie
And every ten yard pass always turned into twenty
Every girl we were with never cost any money
And we drank more tequila than any man alive
And the story goes on, and gets a little better
Every time we’re together
And the story goes on, and gets a little better
Every time we’re together
I'm really impressed with this album, they went right back to their roots with hard rock, melodic rock, and some alt metal. And not one sexual themed song :O I still can't believe it! I'll have to pick up a CD this week
For everyone ripping the so-called "Photograph" part 2, Chad explained in an interview the band went back to their hometown where they shot the video & witnessed everything they had come to know growing up gone or close to gone. Know the orgin of the song before you comment ignorance or hate.
in a world of total SHIT.. they continue to write songs of positive vibes , life and their childhood. There is beauty in that. It's life... yet with technology we forget that. This band despite it's recent unpopularity in several years put out Music of life lived and hope. That makes more of a difference by far to those that listen and understand life instead of caught up with all the crazy brainwashing Media. You know beauty in life still exists. Nickelback continues to write meaningful songs regardless of trends. We should all be thankful that they stick to their roots.
I really wouldn't say this is Photograph 2.0... I'd say this has more of a High School Reunion feel to it. Whereas Photograph had more of a 'Moving On' theme (with the line of 'It's hard to say it Time to say it Good bye, good bye') This feels more like getting together and remembering the times you had with friends and those times seems to get better with each reunion.
