You go to bed
before morning paper hits your door
Hope that mom and dad won't know you
just snuck through your window
Mother's in a Sunday pass,
drags you out to boogie blast
Crazy neighbors down the hall
Always banging on the wall
Crazy neighbors down the hall
Always banging on the wall
Almost makes you kind of proud
You turn up your records loud
Oh, those years were good
Really miss the neighborhood
Oh, yeah
We'll always be together
It doesn't matter how
far away you are
Yeah, it didn't last forever
They always said that
these were the best years
These were the best years of our
lives
And you know you can't back down
Cause they'd run you out of town
Yeah, but when you need a friend,
I will help and come defend
And you know you can't back down,
cause you know the good will come
And the rumors travel fast,
and you hope this will not last
All those years were good,
really miss the neighborhood
Oh, yeah, we will always be together
It doesn't matter how far away you are
Oh, yeah, it didn't last forever
They always said that
these were the best years
These were the best years of our lives
I hope you all survived
I hope you all made it out alive
Oh, yeah, we will always be together
It doesn't matter how far away you are
Oh, yeah, it didn't last forever
They always said that
These were the best years
These were the best years of our lives
