From the recording California Sun
Lyrics
It was a one room house on Main Street
Fire engines blaring by
Music store was on the corner
It’s where I dreamed with my eyes
Playin music with my cousin
and one of our good friends
People came to see us from miles around
It was the Best Years of Our Life
Ridin’ across those dirt roads
Watchin’ the time fly by
Not caring where it’s going
It was the Best Years of Our Life
It was the Best Years of Our Life
Driving that red pickup
through the Indiana corn
Lightning bugs were flashing all around
Two girls kissin’ in the swimming pool
Raccoon in the tent
And a Summer or two of love
It was the Best Years of Our Life
Ridin’ across those dirt roads
Watchin’ the time fly by
Not caring where it’s going
It was the Best Years of Our Life
It was the Best Years of Our Life
Looking back now I know how great it all was
If only I’d have seen it then, where would I be now
It doesn’t really matter ‘cause here is where I stand
It was the Best Years of Our Life
Ridin’ across those dirt roads
Watchin’ the time fly by
Not caring where it’s going
It was the Best Years of Our Life
It was the Best Years of Our Life
