Song Lyrics

Can you believe it?
It's been almost ten years now
And I'm getting that feeling
As we're driving round this town
Passing by the old school yard
Everything just looks so small
Before the drums and the guitars
Way back when we knew it all

And she's sitting right next to me
Hand in the wind
That old white Cherokee I grew up in
Yeah it's crazy
Crazy, but it's true

That you never get a second chance at the first time
We will never be eighteen again
No you never get a second chance at the first time
Feels so good to see you my old friend
It's good to see you again

Can you believe it?
How much everything has changed
Well they shut down the old diner
And they put in some new chain
You know it's so good to see
Whoa, man your hair has got so long
Feels like it's been forever
We're still singing that old song

Well she's sitting right next to me
Hand in the wind
That old white Cherokee I grew up in
Yeah it's crazy
Crazy, but it's true

That you never get a second chance at the first time
We will never be eighteen again
No you never get a second chance at the first time
Feels so good to see you my old friend

Well you know they say that growing up is hard
Well it's so hard to think of how we almost got so far
Well do you remember the night of our first kiss
Well baby did it feel just a little bit like this
Ooh

Well she's sitting right next to me
Hand in the wind
That old white Cherokee I grew up in
Yeah it's crazy
Crazy, but it's true

Well you never get a second chance at the first time
We will never be eighteen again
No you never get a second chance at the first time
Feels so good to see you my old friend
It's good to see you again

It's good to see you again
