Yeah  Me Jim and Dan  we were all  best friends.
Ridin'  off like cowboys on  a road that never ends.
We  knew it was the last time  for  the time of our lives.
You  see Dan was gettin' married  Jim was goin'  to desert  storm.
I  was headin' off to college movin'  into a dorm.
So  we took off in that old  hot rod.  Back when we were gods.
You  couldn't tell us nothin'  we didn't  already know.
And  if a sign said off limits you could be we would go.
A  hundred miles an hour  non stop.
Back  when we were gods.
There  were Arizona troopers trailin'  close behind.
We  knew they couldn't touch  us once we crossed  the state line.
So  we pulled over and showed 'em  a Tennessee moon
 From the California side.
L.A.  was a nightmare Vegas  was a dream.
Dan  had won more money  than we  had ever seen.
Didn't  take us one day  to blow the whole lot.
Yeah  back when we were gods.
You  couldn't tell us nothin'  we didn't  already know.
And  if a sign said off limits you could be we would go.
A  hundred miles an hour  non stop.
Back  when we were gods.
We  thought we were invincible couldn't  nothin' bring us down.
But  it didn't take long for the real  world to knock us flat  on the ground.
And  I hope we were forgiven for all  the crazy things we did.
After  all we were just kids.
You  couldn't tell us nothin'  we didn't  already know.
And  if a sign said off limits you could be we would go.
A  hundred miles an hour  non stop.
Back  when we were gods
Back  when we were gods.
When  we thought we  were gods.
Yeah,  yeah, yeah.
When  we thought we  were gods.
