[Verse 1]
 Hey, buddies that I grew up with
 All straight-laced and married up now
 You ain't foolin' me, wasn't long ago
 We tore the roof off that one red light town
 And hey, darlin', sippin' that red wine
 All classy, kicked back on the couch
 You smile and I see ya shootin' tequila
 Us shuttin' them college bars down

 [Chorus]
 And no matter how much time goes by
 And no matter how much we grow up
 For worse or for better, from now 'til forever
 I'll always remember you young

 [Verse 2]
 And hey, babies, crawlin' on the carpet
 No, you won't be that little for long
 One day, you'll move away, but you're still gonna stay
 This innocent after you're gone

 [Chorus]
 'Cause no matter how much time goes by
 And no matter how much you grow up
 For worse or for better, from now 'til forever
 I'll always remember you young

 [Post-Chorus]
 Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
 Whoa-oh-oh, oh, oh

 [Bridge]
 Yeah, I hope when we get to Heaven
 He looks at us all like we're kids
 Shameless and painless and perfect and ageless
 Forgives all the wrong that we did

 [Chorus]
 And no matter how much time goes by
 I hope we never have to grow up
 We'll say for worse or for better, from now 'til forever
 I'll always remember you young

 [Post-Chorus]
 Whoa-oh-oh, oh
 I'll always remember you young
