We Will Never Be This Young Again - Ben Rector

I spoke to myself last night in a dream

I was about twenty-one

It was the craziest thing

And I went to a party with all of my friends

And it brought tears to my eyes

To see us together again

And I tried to tell them the way that things change

But they wouldn't listen to me

They all started walking away

So I sung them a song of the beauty of youth

And I brought the rhythmic back in, and I told them the truth

I couldn't tell you where this road will lead

If it winds or how it ends

But this is as alive as we will ever be

'Cause we will never be this young again

So, here's to livin' while we're alive

Don't slow down, don't close your eyes

Just raise your glass and breathe it in

'Cause we will never be this young again

Oh, yeah yeah

Never be this young again

I woke up in my room and I shot out of bed

And there was a vision of me at seventy-five in my head

He smiled and said, "Boy, you're still in your youth"

Then he sat down and played me this song

Same as I'm singin' to you

I couldn't tell you where this road will lead

If it winds or how it ends

But this is alive as we will ever be

We will never be this young again

So, here's to livin' while we're alive

Don't slow down, don't close your eyes

Just raise your glass and breathe it in

'Cause we will never be this young again

Ride the night like a roller coaster

Like the nights back in Oklahoma

Just a sip of the sweet cherry Cola

To the stars, Supernova

This is young as we'll ever be

So let's be young and free

Come make a memory

Oh yeah

I say everybody gather 'round

We're goin' out tonight

Gonna paint the town

And if we get too deep, we can reel it in

Because we will never be this young again

We will never be, never be this young again

(Never be, never be, never be this young again)
