When I could be anything
That I wanted
Oh-oh
We could be better than
Better than all of them
I can see you're runnin' now
You can't see me
Burnin' in the back now
Coming down
Said you got a new car
Give me a ride home
You could be my best friend
You could be my best friend
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Come on, let's go to this
You can wear my clothes
Oh-oh
Smoking into the clouds
Yeah, give me one of those
I can see you're runnin' now
You can't see me
Burnin' in the back now
Coming down
Said you got a new car
Give me a ride home
You could be my best friend (you could be my best friend)
You could be my best friend
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Drinking at ninety-three
Stay with me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I show up late
But I'm still straight a
I can see you're runnin' now
You can't see me
Burnin' in the back now
Coming down, oh
Said you got a new car
Give me a ride home
You could be my best friend (you could be my best friend)
You could be my best friend
