Lyrics

Best friends same street
Running through a ball field in the summer heat
We’d go swim just to look at girls at the pool

Backyard Boy Scouts
Planning our Saturday night hangouts
We’d smoke cigarettes behind the old middle school

Yeah what it was to be so young, acting like we were so cool, but that was

Growing up in a small town
Growing up on Oakwood Avenue
We’d hit it hard then we’d burn it down
There wasn’t nothing we wouldn’t do
Thought we were big and bad, shoving our weight around
Best of friends, we didn’t have a clue
But that was, that was growing up,
Growing up on Oakwood Avenue

The first car, the first date
Rushing home two hours too late
We were caught parked sneaking out like fools

Yeah we were high on life making up our own rules

Growing up in a small town
Growing up on Oakwood Avenue
We’d hit it hard then we’d burn it down
There wasn’t nothing we wouldn’t do
Thought we were big and bad, shoving our weight around
Best of friends, we didn’t have a clue
But that was, that was growing up,
Growing up on Oakwood Avenue

When I go back I rewind
I replay 16 in my mind
I wish I could roll back the years and live it one more time

Growing up in a small town
Growing up on Oakwood Avenue
We’d hit it hard then we’d burn it down
There wasn’t nothing we wouldn’t do
Thought we were big and bad, shoving our weight around
Best friends, who didn’t have a clue
But that was, that was growing up,
Growing up on Oakwood Avenue

Yeah that was, that was growing up,
Yeah growing up
Yeah that was, that was growing up,
Growing up on Oakwood Avenue
Oakwood Avenue
Growing up on Oakwood Avenue
