Before We Knew They Were Good

Intro: verse 1: Five young guns four old Fords between us Never more than a couple of ’em run at a time Bold and bored standin’ and gasolinin’ Makin’ sparks with anything we could find Pre-Chorus We love that town but we were seventeeners Ridin’ around giving it the finger Those days we made it last all night Those girls we thought were just all right Those kids that town misunderstood They were great ... before we knew they were good verse 2 Sweatin’ in the sun ’cuz havin’ fun takes money Paid for our crazy cuttin’ grass Waitin’ on the front porch for little miss milk and honey Smellin’ like Marlboros and lawnmower gas Pre-Chorus We parked that Galaxy out there where the milo grew Two beginners tryin’ to show each other what they knew Those days we made it last all night Those girls we thought were just all right Those kids that town misunderstood They were great ... before we knew they were Bridge: Caged birds singing waitin’ on their wings and learnin’ to fly One day they’re on the ground and then you turn around They’re all in the sky Those days we made it last all night Those girls we thought were just all right Those kids that town misunderstood They were great ... before we knew they were good Before we knew they were good They were great

La chanson évoque les souvenirs nostalgiques d'une adolescence insouciante, où un groupe de jeunes passait des journées à traîner en voiture et à profiter de la vie. Ils se souviennent des petites aventures de leur jeunesse, comme attendre sur le porche et rêver de l’avenir, tout en réalisant qu’ils prenaient souvent pour acquis les moments simples et les gens qui les entouraient. Les relations et les amis qu'ils avaient à l'époque étaient bien plus précieux qu'ils ne le pensaient alors. Le contexte se situe dans une petite ville, où l'ennui et l'excitation se mélangent, et où les enfants, bien qu'ils ne soient pas toujours compris, avaient en réalité une belle profondeur. C'est une réflexion sur la façon dont le temps transforme notre perception des gens et des expériences, et sur l'importance d'apprécier pleinement chaque instant.
