We had the time of our lives
We kicked some teeth, we kicked some ass
We traded all of our wives
We acted badly, we acted madly, yeah
We were hell on wheels
We made mayhem, we mixed it up
We went head over heels
Ha-ha-ha, ho-ho-ho and a couple of la-di-das
Remember when we had a cow
Ha-ha-ha, ho-ho-ho and a couple of tra-la-las
It's not so funny now
We wrote some songs, we made a band
We went out rocking the town
We worked so hard, we worked so rough
Nothing would keep us down
Who'd a thunk we'd never make it
Never get a record deal
There's no way we'd believe it
The thought was simply surreal
What's that, are you crying
Are those tears in your eyes
I don't get it, I don't get what went wrong
It came as a great big surprise
We screwed up, we burned out
We never broke on through
You got a life, I got a life, yeah, no big whoop-de-do
I got old, you got old
You were the first to pass
When I look back, just gotta laugh
Gotta say that it's a gas
