## Lyrics
[verse]
Got my first guitar down at the pawn shop store
Learned three chords and I didn't need much more
Me and the guys played till our fingers bled
Dreaming of the words that never got said

[chorus]
Those were the days, back in that summer we knew
Nothing could touch me and nothing could touch you
Best days of my life, running wild and free
That summer's still living inside of me

[verse]
We'd meet at the diner after the sun went down
Talking about leaving this whole small town
Nobody had money but nobody cared
We had the music and the summer air

[chorus]
Those were the days, back in that summer we knew
Nothing could touch me and nothing could touch you
Best days of my life, running wild and free
That summer's still living inside of me

[bridge]
Some of the band went on to bigger things
Some of us stayed and some of us grew wings
But every time that old song plays
I'm back in those summer days

[chorus]
Those were the days, back in that summer we knew
Nothing could touch me and nothing could touch you
Best days of my life, running wild and free
That summer's still living inside of me
