Oh well the world
never seemed bigger
than the summer
of ninety eight
Living out in
the suburbs
planning my escape
I grew my hair
to my shoulders
formed a band with
a couple of friends
And we called ourselves
'The Devils Playhouse'
influences like
Bruce and the band
And we'd sing and play
simple three chord
rock and roll
And miles away
the other kids
would just grow old
But we're making
our own way out
yeah we're making
our own way out
Well we'd practice
every week
in my bedroom
while my parents
were working in town
And one morning
in our school assembly
played a cover of
"Don't Let Me Down"
The performance was
nervous and awkward
but the passion was
real and profound
And the kids in the
audience laughing
while the band just
stared at the ground
But a victory
for the kids who
believe in
rock and roll
I know for me
that performance lives
it never grows old
But we're making
our own way out
yeah we're making
our own way out
Well I'd give it all back
just to do it again
Yeah I'd turn back time
be with my friends
Yeah I'd give it all back
just to do it again
Turn back time
be with my friends
Yeah I'd give it all back
just to do it again
Turn back time and
be with my friends
Yeah I'd give it all back
just to do it again
Turn back time
be with my friends
tonight
