It wasn't easy, but somehow I fit
Four long years of college into six
I pulled some bad grades, but made some good friends
For my lack of education I still blame them

We were young, life was good
Now I'd go back and do it all again if I could
We had time and we had beer
And that's all we needed in those college years

I had a buddy, who found me an ID
Man that picture didn't look a damn thing like me
We had a few nights, we had too much fun
We got empty balls and then got luck we had them

We were young, life was good
Now I'd go back and do it all again if I could
We had time and we had beer
And that's all we needed in those college years

I had a guitar, I couldn't play it
But when everybody got drunk I could fake it
I had a girlfriend, and she was older
And she taught me things and to this day I thank her

We were young, life was good
Now I'd go back and do it all again if I could
We had time and we had beer
And that's all we needed in those college years
Yeah that's all we needed in those college years
