Yesterday

YESTERDAY - Written by Carroll Bryant 

There we were hanging down by the river

Talking all kinds of shit and hungry for touch 

She was my girl from the first time I saw her 

Loving that angel baby was really too much 

Drinking that cheap stuff

It was all we could do and all we could afford 

Lincoln Continental and a tank full of gas

Throwing our little parties down by the river 

Once in a while we had to kick a little ass

Oh, but that was yesterday when we were filled with silly notions

Oh, and yesterday I was much too young to see

That yesterday wasn't going to last forever 

Oh, but yesterday is exactly where I want to be 

We always danced to the music that we played well into the morning 

Heavy metal jamming and loving while rolling the floor 

Holding that angel in my arms is all I care to remember

I can hear that girl still begging me for more 

Let me tell you right now

That was yesterday when we were filled with silly notions

And yesterday I was much too young to see

That yesterday wasn't going to last forever 

But yesterday is exactly where I want to be

I can still see the lights of the stars and the police cars 

They're telling us to leave to go to another place

Behind the bleachers at the football field is where we'd go so late

Holding your face and laying you down and we make love

To the sound of the night in the background

Loving you girl until the world would just slow down

And you begging me for more 

I think I was dreaming because my thoughts are so hazy 

I got a picture in my wallet that says I'm not going crazy

In the end I think that we all went nuts

Oh, but that was yesterday when we were filled with silly notions

Oh, and yesterday I was much too young to see

That yesterday wasn't going to last forever 

Oh, but yesterday is exactly where I want to be 

Yesterday we were filled with silly notions

Yesterday I was much too young to see

That yesterday wasn't going to last forever 

Oh, but yesterday is exactly where I want to be

Yesterday is the place where I feel so free
