I keep trying, I'd be lying Cuz I'm holding onto the memory I keep crying, slowly dying I keep on running but I can't break free Summer nights keep playing in my mind Baby, baby So give me back that wasted time... With the top down and the radio on We were dancin' in the streets Simple times and crossin' lines We were wild and we were free Finding the answers in black and white We were young and we believed So take my hand on the boulevard 'Cause we're looking for The American dream Dream, dream, dream Pull me close, don't let go Let's find our way back to the innocence And I know you're not alone When things go fast yeah we'll take it slow Summer nights keep playing in my mind Baby, baby So give me back that wasted time... With the top down and the radio on We were dancin' in the streets Simple times and crossin' lines We were wild and we were free Finding the answers in black and white We were young and we believed So take my hand on the boulevard 'Cause we're looking for The American dream Dream, dream, dream Dream, dream, dream With the top down and the radio on We were dancin' in the streets Simple times and crossin' lines We were wild and we were free Finding the answers in black and white We were young and we believed So take my hand on the boulevard 'Cause we're looking for The American dream Baby, baby The American dream Dream, dream, dream
