Close your eyes and come for a ride

As I take you back in time

To an age in every boy’s life

Where you feel like a man and it all seems right

Not a care in the world, just smiles

‘Cause all you seem to do is run around wild

Take my advice, when you want to escape

Go back in your mind to an age so great

Look outside, what do you see

Me and my friends being thirteen

Come home from school and get on a bike

A trip to the mall and maybe a fight

Lots of football and baseball too

Whatever came to mind before we jumped in the pool

Late at night we would all sneak out

Never knowing why, we just had to be out

Ten years later I’m writing this song

Trying to figure out where I belong

I look back to when life was all play

The biggest thing to worry about was staying out late

And now I think how great it would be

If I could take all I’ve learned and go back to thirteen

But its okay and I feel all right

‘Cause now I don’t have to ask to stay out all night

Look outside, what do you see

Me and my friends being thirteen

Passing around our first magazine

With pretty girls showing all the ways they could be

We would go down to the local high school

And smoke in the lot, it was so cool

But then when we had to go there every day

We would plan a secret mission just to get away

Look outside, what do you see

Me and my friends being thirteen

And when things are not how I want them to be

I just think back to me and my friends at thirteen
