Kenny Chesney - My Anthem lyrics

In a world, in a town, on a road in a car
Goin' nowhere fast just a girl with a boy
Who'd never been that far
And he could never go back
I was tired of talking about
Going to college somewhere
You were tired of your
Parents fighting downstairs
We thought we could outrun our youth
You and me could outrun the truth

You weren't just a prayer
You were my salvation
You weren't just my first
You were my education
You weren't just a song on the radio
You were my solid gold centerfold
Daddy hates my rock and roll
Back seat dancin'
We ain't never growin' old anthem
Yeah, you were my anthem

In a house
In a room with a poster on the wall
Looking for a way out
In a yard, in the dark
Climbin' a fence just to fall
Thought that's what love was about
Even when you had to put
My jacket around your shoulders
We pretended that the summer wasn't over
We thought we could outrun our youth
You and me could outrun the truth

You weren't just a prayer
You were my salvation
You weren't just my first
You were my education
You weren't just a song on the radio
You were my solid gold centerfold
Daddy hates my rock and roll
Back seat dancin'
We ain't never growin' old anthem
Yeah, you were my anthem

You were the backbeat of freedom
The front row kind of feeling
And just what I needed to hear
The kind you wanna sing along
Baby, with your blue jeans on
We thought we could outrun our youth
You and me could outrun the truth

You weren't just a prayer
You were my salvation
You weren't just my first
You were my education
You weren't just a song on the radio
You were my solid gold centerfold
Daddy hates my rock and roll
Back seat dancin'
We ain't never growin' old anthem
Yeah, you were my anthem

The kind you want to sing along
The kind you want to sing along
