I was eighteen years old
The year I stopped taken' baths of cold
We were 'Throwing Copper' at the 'Saturn'
As my pizza began to burn
When the fifty-first areana came on
The head guy was already gone
So we lit one up
And poured beer into our cups

These are the best days of our lives
Where we dance, drink, smoke, and take some dives
Never say I wish I was older
Cause your life will become another folder

This year brought me to new places
It also let me meet many faces
A year where if you were down
Your friends could earse your frown
A year when you thought your hair was thinning
Your sister got a new beginning.
That year she missed her pill

A year I was free
When something precious was taken from me
ANd I met another girl
And she IS everything to my world

This year 'Money Can't Buy Me Love'
As I met a person; he told me from above
A year 'NICE GUYS still FINISH LAST'
But they are the best and have the biggest blast

Where you see someone at Pizza Hut
And all you do is stare at a girl's butt
Before this year is done
EVERYBODY, I've had LOTS OF FUN!
