Kids In The Street Lyrics
In the night, in the beat city light
We steal ourselves away and hold on tight
You were there, yeah we were all there
Too young, too smart, too much for this one town
We'd get so high, we got lost coming down
When we were kids in the street, kids in the street
When we were kids in the street, just kids in the street
Remember when we
We used to laugh, we used to cry
Live and die by the forty-five
Take me back, I'll go there
Who could stop us, and who would care
Always keep, to the kids in the street
We were dreams, we were American graffiti scenes
But no war, no peace, no hope, no means, just us
And the songs, with the words that we'd sing wrong
And we'd drive until that jealous sun fell down
Just to wash ourselves in moonlight summer sounds
When we were kids in the street, kids in the street
When we were kids in the street, just kids in the street
Remember when we
We used to laugh, we used to cry
Live and die by the forty-five
Take me back, I'll go there
Who could stop us, and who would care
Always keep, to the kids in the street
And we never felt so alive (so alive)
And we'd dance all night under the sky (under the sky)
And we'd live (we'd live), we'd breath (we'd breath), we'd die (we'd die)
Then the world stood still for you and I
Just you and I
Candles burn, 'cause the world will always turn
I'll burn both ends until my fire's out
Lost in the darkness, I can still scream out
We used to laugh, we used to cry
Say goodbye to I-35
Take me back, down a dirty road
Where it went, we didn't care to know
A glory night is a story saved
Mark the chapter, but turn the page
Always keep, to kids in the street
When we were kids in the street
Just kids in the street
We steal ourselves away and hold on tight
You were there, yeah we were all there
Too young, too smart, too much for this one town
We'd get so high, we got lost coming down
When we were kids in the street, just kids in the street
We used to laugh, we used to cry
Live and die by the forty-five
Take me back, I'll go there
Who could stop us, and who would care
Always keep, to the kids in the street
But no war, no peace, no hope, no means, just us
And the songs, with the words that we'd sing wrong
And we'd drive until that jealous sun fell down
Just to wash ourselves in moonlight summer sounds
When we were kids in the street, just kids in the street
We used to laugh, we used to cry
Live and die by the forty-five
Take me back, I'll go there
Who could stop us, and who would care
Always keep, to the kids in the street
And we'd dance all night under the sky (under the sky)
And we'd live (we'd live), we'd breath (we'd breath), we'd die (we'd die)
Then the world stood still for you and I
Just you and I
I'll burn both ends until my fire's out
Lost in the darkness, I can still scream out
Say goodbye to I-35
Take me back, down a dirty road
Where it went, we didn't care to know
A glory night is a story saved
Mark the chapter, but turn the page
Always keep, to kids in the street
When we were kids in the street
Just kids in the street

Does anybody know the meaning of Live and die by the 45?
I find this song really cool. The beat is sick!
I suspect it's a reference to 45 rpm records - singles.

The All-American Rejects are from Stillwater, Oklahoma. When he says that line he's talking about Highway 45 that is located right near Stillwater. Hope that helped!
