Grew up in a suburb that was right outside of SacTown
Ridin' in my brother's truck music up too loud
Sittin' on a sub base blarin' as we drive by
But it felt good yeah i'm not gonna lie
I can still feel a shake as i'm stuck in the back
In the middle of his friends while he drives too fast
I'm the only girl I don't know how to act
But when I look back I can't help but laugh
Laid back cruisin' like hand out the window
Music always up, always up on the stereo
We don't even know, even know
where we should go, should go, should go
All us California kids listenin' to country
Got a summer job try'na make a little money
Livin' all like carefree like it should be, should be, should be
Woooaaah
This is the way we live
We do this everyday
This is the way we
This is the way we
This is the way we live
Ooooooh
My life is like
Ooooooh
Uh
They turned our dirt lot into a teenage memory
Yeah town centre was the Friday night place to be
That was back when I was in El Dorado Hillian
Moved to Malibu now I'm hangin' at Pavilion
NorCal SoCal doesn't really matter
It's always a good time when we get together
Someone take a picture remember this forever, ever, ever
Head down the boulevard all the way to Subway
Listen to the songs that we love all my friends sing
Hey, you, I wanna know your name, your name, your name
Woooaaah
This is the way we live
We do this everyday
This is the way we
This is the way we
This is the way we live
Ooooooh
My life is like
Ooooooh
Uh
I don't fit in with everyone my age
But this ain't Hollywood, it's just the way we live
This is the way (the way, the way, the way, the way)
This is the way
This is the way we live
Hey, hey
Woooaaah
This is the way we live
We do this everyday (and we don't stop, and we don't stop)
This is the way we
This is the way we
This is the way we live
