Lookin' Back At The Future

We were always drivin’ down that same old dusty street

It was the middle of the summer but we weren’t sweatin’ from the heat

It was the look in your eyes and the taste of your lips

With your hair upon my shoulder and my hand upon your hip

Those were the days my dear, when everything felt so good

Always makin’ love in the back seat, or maybe on the hood

Where have all those days gone, what happened to it all?

Guess they’re lost in the sands of time now we’re no longer standing tall

We just got older without getting wise, our dreams all but forgotten

The taste of life we loved so much ain’t fresh no more, it’s rotten

I don’t catch your eye no more and your hair no longer shines

I still say I love you, but you no longer say you’re mine

So hop on in the front seat babe, let’s turn our life around

Turn the radio up, wind the windows down and get lost in the sound

Let’s drive all night to God knows where and race people off the lights

Let’s find a nice secluded spot and put a ladder in your tights

Love gets old, I know that’s true but maybe it’s like wine

Maybe it’ll get better with age instead of screwing with our minds

So put those slippers away my dear and slip into something revealing

And I’ll do my best to remind you that sex was once appealing
