In the night, in the beat city light We steal ourselves away and hold on tight You were there, yeah, we were all there Too young, too smart, too much for this one town We'd get so high, we got lost coming down When we were kids in the street, kids in the street When we were kids in the street, just kids in the street Remember when we We used to laugh, we used to cry Live and die by the forty five Take me back, I'll go there Who could stop us, and who would care? Always keep, to the kids in the street We were dreams, we were American graffiti scenes But no war, no peace, no hopes, no dreams, just us And the songs, with the words we'd sing wrong And we'd drive until that jealous sun fell down Just to wash ourselves in the moonlight summer sounds When we were kids in the street, kids in the street When we were kids in the street, just kids in the street Remember when we We used to laugh, we used to cry Live and die by the forty five Take me back, I'll go there Who could stop us, and who would care? Always keep, to the kids in the street (huh, huh, huh) and we never felt, so alive (so alive) (Huh, huh, huh) and we'd dance, all, night, under the sky (under the sky) (Whoa, whoa, whoa) and we'd live (we'd live), we'd breathe (we'd breathe), we'd die (we'd die) (Whoa, whoa, whoa) when the world, stood, still, for you and I Just (you and I) Candles burn, 'cause the world will always turn I'll burn both ends until my fire's out Lost in the darkness, I can still scream out (ah) We used to laugh, we used to cry Say goodbye to I 35 Take me back, down a dirty road Where it went, we didn't care to know A glory night is a story saved Mark the chapter, but turn the page Always keep, to kids in the street When we were kids in the street Just kids in the street (Whoa) (Whoa-ooh)
