I can still see mama clear as day Lookin' in the mirror countin' the grey Rantin' and ravin' about pushin' 40 and the laws of gravity It was hard for me to wrap my mind Around anything other than Friday night My world was girls and cars and beer And hank at 17 And the other side of 35 was a spot ‘cross the state route road It was a nowhere no rules no easy way to get to Hang where we'd all go there was no place else we'd rather be We were young, we were cool, we were wild and free Having the time of our lives On the other side of 35 Never thought of growing up back then But 20 came and 30 went And 35 turned into more than a sign on an overpa** And it's a lot years from 17 But it ain't as old as it used to seem When life was whiskey bent and hell bound screamin' through the dash [Repeat chorus] Well now it ain't there And I ain't there no more But that's ok cause that's what a memory's for [Repeat chorus] And now I'm havin' the time of my life Here on the other side
