There were nights we thought would never end.
Cheap guitars and borrowed friends.
Sunburnt dreams and reckless cheers.
We swore we'd outrun all our fears.
We chased the tide, we chased the flame.
Some walked off, some stayed the same.
Every scar and every tear.
Led us right back standing here.
Time moves on and it won't wait.
But it can't undo the love we made.
It don't rush and it don't care.
Still it leaves us standing there.
Raise a glass to the years gone by.
To the lows we lived and the highs we tried.
To the roads that bent but brought us near.
To the ones we lost and the ones still here.
If tonight's all we get, my friend.
We'll toast it up and do it again.
Raise a glass to the years.
We've buried ghosts and buried pride.
Watched the young ones take the ride.
Traded speed for something real.
Learned what matters. Learned to feel.
There's silver showing in the light.
And it fits us fine tonight.
Raise a glass to the years gone by.
To the lows we lived and the highs we tried.
To the roads that bent but brought us near.
To the ones we lost and the ones still here.
If tonight's all we get, my friend.
We'll toast it up and do it again.
Raise a glass to the years.
We were wild once. We were green.
Thought forever meant eighteen.
Now forever's standing here.
Side by side without the fear.
Raise a glass to the years gone by.
To the lows we lived and the highs we tried.
To the roads that bent but brought us near.
To the ones we lost and the ones still here.
If tonight's all we get, my friend.
We'll toast it up and do it again.
Raise a glass to the years.
