(Music by Tom Levin. Lyrics by Tom Levin & Nichole Ruth)
We packed up everything we had and said goodbye to mom and dad
And that’s the way we liked it
In and out of sleepy towns, cheap motels, our stomping grounds
That’s the way we liked it
Remember all the beer we drank and making out on the riverbank
And everyday was Sunday
That one time when the tire blew, we camped outside a day or two
But we were just laughing
We summered through the day and we sailed through the night
There was nothing that we didn’t have and everything we might
Our troubles then they were far and few
And it’s always been better, much better, since I’ve been with you
We settled down to the daily grind, constant march 9 to 9
And that’s the way we liked it
Thought we knew just who to be, took things way to seriously
But even then we liked it
Well, we struggled through the day and we worked through the night
We had nothing that we wanted but everything in sight
Our troubles even then they were far and few
And it’s always been better, much better, since I’ve been with you
We talk about the times we’ve had, remember good, forget the bad
And that’s the way we like it
Click your heals three times and then I know you will feel young again
Just the way we liked it
Now we summer through the day and we sail through the night
There is nothing that we don’t have and everything is right
Troubles we have they are far and few
And it’s always been better, much better, since I’ve been with you
