The Great American Hustle

I miss all of the world
that I knew as a boy scrape my knees on the streets where we cool never coy.
Played along to the ballad that summer wrote. You took our bikes to a place
where our folks never knew.
Felt the wind in my face.
Man, I felt so alive,
racing you through the woods.
Man, we tried.
All of the nights that we laughed 'til we cried,
I won't forget, forget part of my life.
To begin, to begin love.
I've been losing sleep again.
'Til I'm seeing you, I miss everything.
Just go back to the way that it's been, that it's been.
Wind in my face.
Man, I felt so alive,
racing you through the woods.
Man, we tried.
All of the nights that we laughed 'til we cried,
I won't forget, forget part of my life.
Take me home, take me home.
I am lost in a world I feel I don't belong. [x2]
Wind in my face.
Man, I felt so alive,
racing you through the woods.
Man, we tried.
All of the nights that we laughed 'til we cried,
I won't forget, forget part of my life.
