Dumb Kids

(album: Hold My Beer, Vol. 3 - 2023)

Ten years old, I'd disappear on my old blue Huffy bike
We'd stay gone till we heard Mom calling out in the moonlight
We just lied when she asked us, "Hey boys, where y'all been?"
She'd have died if she knew what we were up to way back then

Wasn't long till we were sneaking out the window with Dad's truck keys
Go sliding into John's beer store with some girls and fake IDs
And those Friday nights, we tried to score, or at least that was the plan
Some left it all out on the field, some found it underneath the stands

We were just dumb kids
We were gonna do it all
Like some young desperados running from the law
So fast, so proud
So stupid, so loud
Just burning at both ends
We were just dumb kids

From crazy dreams to promise rings, mistakes made in the dark
I've missed some turns, crashed and burned, and broke my own heart
An old song just came on the radio, and man, it took me back
I guess it's true when they say that we grow up way too fast

We were just dumb kids
We were gonna do it all
Like some young desperados running from the law
So fast, so proud
So stupid, so loud
Just burning at both ends
Oh, we were just dumb kids

I'd be lying if I said there's things that I wouldn't change
Yeah, sometimes, I sure miss that boy who thought he knew everything

We were just dumb kids
We were gonna do it all
Like some young desperados running from the law
So fast, so proud
So stupid, so loud
Just burning at both ends

Oh, what I wouldn't give to go back there again
When we were just dumb kids
Just dumb kids
