When We Were Innocent

(album: Eli Young Band - 2002)

It's good there was a full moon out that night
I can still recall your body in the pale white light
When love's not love it sure felt right
Who would have known you were the crazy type.

We were teaching each other how to love
After all it couldn't be that tough
On the bank of the river with the stars above
I learned things I never knew of....

When we were young and wild living day to day
Swerving around every corner trying to find our way
Time seemed to stop for us baby didn't it?
When we were innocent
When we were innocent

Sneaking around afraid of getting caught
We went against everything the preacher taught
Skinny dipping in the river when it got hot
Fogging up the windows in the parking lot

Do you remember that night on the 4th of July
By the pond shooting bottle rockets into the sky
We didn't have to leave the ground to fly
I've never had a girl take me so high........

When we were young and wild living day to day
Swerving around every corner trying to find our way
Time seemed to stop for us baby didn't it?
When we were innocent
When we were innocent

It's gone from cargo light to candle light
Cheap wine to champagne
Baby knowing what we know now
Don't you wish we could go back again?

When we were young and wild living day to day
Swerving around every corner trying to find our way
Time seemed to stop for us baby didn't it?
When we were innocent
When we were innocent
