My Anthem

In a world, in a town, on a road in a car
Goin nowhere fast
Just a girl with a boy whod never been that far
And he could never go back
I was tired of talking about going to college somewhere
You were tired of your parents fighting downstairs
We thought we could outrun our youth
You and me could outrun the truth

You werent just a prayer, you were my salvation
You werent just my first, you were my education
You werent just a song on the radio
You were my solid gold centerfold
Daddy hates my rock and roll
Back seat dancin, we aint never growin old anthem
Yeah, you were my anthem

In a house, in a room with a poster on the wall
Looking for a way out
In a yard , in the dark, climbin a fence just to fall
Thought thats what love was about
Even when you had to put my jacket around your shoulders
We pretended that the summer wasnt over
We thought we could outrun our youth
You and me could outrun the truth

You werent just a prayer, you were my salvation
You werent just my first, you were my education
You werent just a song on the radio
You were my solid gold centerfold
Daddy hates my rock and roll
Back seat dancin, we aint never growin old anthem
Yeah, you were my anthem

You were the backbeat of freedom
The front row kind of feeling
And just what I needed to hear
The kind you wanna sing along
Baby, with your blue jeans on
We thought we could outrun our youth
You and me could outrun the truth

You werent just a prayer, you were my salvation
You werent just my first, you were my education
You werent just a song on the radio
You were my solid gold centerfold
Daddy hates my rock and roll
Back seat dancin, we aint never growin old anthem
Yeah, you were my anthem
The kind you want to sing along
The kind you want to sing along
