Better Back When
Dan Isbell, Luke Albert Combs, Randy Montana, Ray Fulcher
We snuck in the back of that college town frat
'Cause they wouldn't let us in the front
Threw their Miller Time keg in a Chevrolet bed
And we let them horses run
Cut a path through the grass yelling, "Kiss my ass!"
With a middle finger in the wind
We laughed, we drank, every now and then I think
Man, I'd love to do that again
Those were some good times
Those were the best nights
The freedom you feel when you're learning to fly
And the song on the radio was singing our lives
I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight
But it looked on fire back then
It probably wasn't, but it seemed a little better back when
Gravel lot spot by the porta johns
'Bout a quarter mile from the door
Worked three weeks for a pair of cheap seats
To hear "Never Wanted Nothing More"
We were feeling that buzz from a summertime love
And a bottle tucked in a boot
It's crazy to think that looking back now
But back then, we never knew
Those were some good times
Those were the best nights
The freedom you feel when you're learning to fly
And the song on the radio was singing our lives
I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight
But it looked on fire back then
It probably wasn't, but it seemed a little better back when
I ain't sayin' that right now ain't right where I wanna be
But I swear time adds a little shine to a long gone memory
Those were some good times
Those were the best nights
The freedom you feel when you're learning to fly
And the song on the radio was singing our lives
I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight
But it looked on fire back then
It probably wasn't, but it seemed a little better back when
It seemed a little better back when
We snuck in the back of that college town frat
Ci siamo intrufolati nel retro di quella casa di una confraternita universitaria
'Cause they wouldn't let us in the front
Perché non ci fanno entrare da davanti
Threw their Miller Time keg in a Chevrolet bed
Hanno gettato il loro fusto di Miller Time nel cassone di un Chevrolet
And we let them horses run
E abbiamo lasciato correre i cavalli
Cut a path through the grass yelling, "Kiss my ass!"
Tagliando un sentiero nell'erba urlando, "Baciami il culo!"
With a middle finger in the wind
Con il dito medio al vento
We laughed, we drank, every now and then I think
Abbiamo riso, abbiamo bevuto, ogni tanto penso
Man, I'd love to do that again
Amico, mi piacerebbe farlo di nuovo
Those were some good times
Quelli erano dei bei tempi
Those were the best nights
Quelle erano le serate migliori
The freedom you feel when you're learning to fly
La libertà che senti quando impari a volare
And the song on the radio was singing our lives
E la canzone alla radio cantava le nostre vite
I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight
Non posso dire che la luna nel cielo brillasse più luminosa di stanotte
But it looked on fire back then
Ma allora sembrava in fiamme
It probably wasn't, but it seemed a little better back when
Probabilmente non lo era, ma ai tempi sembrava un po' meglio
Gravel lot spot by the porta johns
Lotto di ghiaia vicino a Porta Johns
'Bout a quarter mile from the door
A circa un quarto di miglio dalla porta
Worked three weeks for a pair of cheap seats
Ha lavorato tre settimane per un paio di posti economici
To hear "Never Wanted Nothing More"
Per ascoltare "Never Wanted Nothing More"
We were feeling that buzz from a summertime love
Sentivamo quel ronzio da un amore estivo
And a bottle tucked in a boot
E una bottiglia infilata in uno stivale
It's crazy to think that looking back now
È pazzesco pensare che ripensandoci ora
But back then, we never knew
Ma allora non lo sapevamo mai
Those were some good times
Quelli erano dei bei tempi
Those were the best nights
Quelle erano le serate migliori
The freedom you feel when you're learning to fly
La libertà che senti quando impari a volare
And the song on the radio was singing our lives
E la canzone alla radio cantava le nostre vite
I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight
Non posso dire che la luna nel cielo brillasse più luminosa di stanotte
But it looked on fire back then
Ma allora sembrava in fiamme
It probably wasn't, but it seemed a little better back when
Probabilmente non lo era, ma ai tempi sembrava un po' meglio
I ain't sayin' that right now ain't right where I wanna be
Non sto dicendo che in questo momento non sono proprio dove vorrei essere
But I swear time adds a little shine to a long gone memory
Ma giuro che il tempo aggiunge un po' di lucentezza a un ricordo ormai lontano
Those were some good times
Quelli erano dei bei tempi
Those were the best nights
Quelle erano le serate migliori
The freedom you feel when you're learning to fly
La libertà che senti quando impari a volare
And the song on the radio was singing our lives
E la canzone alla radio cantava le nostre vite
I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight

It probably wasn't, but it seemed a little better back when
Probabilmente non lo era, ma ai tempi sembrava un po' meglio
It seemed a little better back when
Sembrava un po' meglio quando
We snuck in the back of that college town frat
Entramos escondidos naquela fraternidade da cidade universitária
'Cause they wouldn't let us in the front
Porque eles não nos deixavam entrar pela frente
Threw their Miller Time keg in a Chevrolet bed
Jogamos o barril de cerveja Miller Time na caçamba de uma Chevrolet
And we let them horses run
E deixamos os cavalos correrem
Cut a path through the grass yelling, "Kiss my ass!"
Cortamos um caminho pela grama gritando, "Beija minha bunda!"
With a middle finger in the wind
Com o dedo do meio ao vento
We laughed, we drank, every now and then I think
Nós rimos, bebemos, de vez em quando eu penso
Man, I'd love to do that again
Cara, eu adoraria fazer isso de novo
Those were some good times
Aqueles foram bons tempos
Those were the best nights
Aquelas foram as melhores noites
The freedom you feel when you're learning to fly
A liberdade que você sente quando está aprendendo a voar
And the song on the radio was singing our lives
E a música no rádio estava cantando nossas vidas
I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight
Não posso dizer que a lua no céu estava brilhando mais do que está hoje à noite
But it looked on fire back then
Mas parecia em chamas naquela época
It probably wasn't, but it seemed a little better back when
Provavelmente não estava, mas parecia um pouco melhor naquela época

To hear "Never Wanted Nothing More"
Para ouvir "Nunca quis nada mais"
We were feeling that buzz from a summertime love
Estávamos sentindo aquele zumbido de um amor de verão
And a bottle tucked in a boot
E uma garrafa escondida numa bota
It's crazy to think that looking back now
É louco pensar que olhando para trás agora
But back then, we never knew
Mas naquela época, nós nunca soubemos
Those were some good times
Aqueles foram bons tempos
Those were the best nights
Aquelas foram as melhores noites

Não estou dizendo que agora não é exatamente onde eu quero estar
But I swear time adds a little shine to a long gone memory
Mas eu juro que o tempo adiciona um pouco de brilho a uma memória antiga
Those were some good times

We snuck in the back of that college town frat

And we let them horses run
Y dejamos que los caballos corrieran
Cut a path through the grass yelling, "Kiss my ass!"
Abrimos un camino a través del césped gritando "¡Que les den!"
With a middle finger in the wind
Con el dedo medio al viento
We laughed, we drank, every now and then I think
Reímos, bebimos, de vez en cuando pienso

Hombre, me encantaría hacer eso de nuevo
