My Anthem

In a world, in a town, on a road in a carGoin' nowhere fastJust a girl with a boy who'd never been that farAnd he could never go backI was tired of talking about going to college somewhereYou were tired of your parents fighting downstairsWe thought we could outrun our youthYou and me could outrun the truthYou weren't just a prayer, you were my salvationYou weren't just my first, you were my educationYou weren't just a song on the radioYou were my solid gold centerfoldDaddy hates my rock and rollBack seat dancin', we ain't never growin' old anthemYeah, you were my anthemIn a house, in a room with a poster on the wallLooking for a way outIn a yard, in the dark, climbin' a fence just to fallThought that's what love was aboutEven when you had to put my jacket around your shouldersWe pretended that the summer wasn't overWe thought we could outrun our youthYou and me could outrun the truthYou weren't just a prayer, you were my salvationYou weren't just my first, you were my educationYou weren't just a song on the radioYou were my solid gold centerfoldDaddy hates my rock and rollBack seat dancin', we ain't never growin' old anthemYeah, you were my anthemYou were the backbeat of freedomThe front row kind of feelingAnd just what I needed to hearThe kind you wanna sing alongBaby, with your blue jeans onWe thought we could outrun our youthYou and me could outrun the truthYou weren't just a prayer, you were my salvationYou weren't just my first, you were my educationYou weren't just a song on the radioYou were my solid gold centerfoldDaddy hates my rock and rollBack seat dancin', we ain't never growin' old anthemYeah, you were my anthemThe kind you want to sing alongThe kind you want to sing along
