Gonna Know We Were Here lyrics

You got the gas

I got the matches

We gonna turn this town to ashes

Cause they ain't never seen nothing like us

Ain't heard loud till we turn it up

I got the wild

You got the crazy

You know that's why I love you baby

Cause your motor runs just as fast as mine

Pedal to the metal, keep your throttle down all night

And we only get one life

Ain't scared to ride this train

Make a few marks, leave a few stains

Might slam just a little too hard

Might take it just a little too far

Might burn out like a firework,

Like a shooting star across the sky

And we may not be around in 20 years

But they're sure gonna know we were here

Yeah, they're sure gonna know we were here

People talk girl

You know damn well

When they got a good tale to tell

Let's give them something they ain't never seen

A little rated R redneck dream

Let's blaze a trail through the dirty south

Or give them something they can talk about

A little story that they won't forget

Long after we ride off into the sunset

Baby, cause we ain't dead yet, baby

Ain't scared to ride this train

Make a few marks, leave a few stains

Might slam just a little too hard

Might take it just a little too far

Might burn out like a firework,

Like a shooting star across the sky

And we may not be around in 20 years

But they're sure gonna know we were here

We only get one chance around

This runaway roller coaster train

And it ain't slowing down

So baby let go and remember our name

Ain't scared to ride this train

Make a few marks, leave a few stains

Might slam just a little too hard

Might take it just a little too far

Might burn out like a firework,

Like a shooting star across the sky

Yeah we may not be around in 20 years

And we may not be around in 20 years

But they're sure gonna know we were here

Yeah, they're sure gonna know we were here
