i walked alone, i never tried to stay in line
i didn't know what i was doing half the time
i didn't know that my life would ever change
i didn't think that anybody felt the same way
and then you came
i said i wanna try it all without regrets
i wanna meet the kind of folks i never met
skipping school and smoking cigarettes
we hadn't even really gotten started yet
pre-chorus:
cuckoo
lets go driving
cuckoo
'cause there's nowhere to go
cuckoo
we're in hiding
they're telling our story on the radio
chorus:
i fell in love with bein' defiant
in a pick up truck that roared like a lion
when you're with us
you don't have to be quiet no more
people said we'd have to make it on our own
we never though there'd be another hand to hold
we didn't care, we never did what we were told
they couldn't break us up, they could never turn us cold
you and me will we were never growing old
pre-chorus
chorus
i see you now, we talk about the way it used to be
when we were brave, we misbehaved
yeah you know what i mean
and you know why
our battle cry always come back to me
