Pat:
we were just dumb kids
with a 6 pack
that bad fake ID I bought
sitting on the living room couch
hoping that we didnÂ’t get caught
Brad:
and when we did my dad had some good advice for me
he said son thereÂ’s a time & place for just about everything
its called college
next thing I know im packin up
and hey im outta here
a backseat full of clothes
in my old cavalier
Pat:
there was empty pizza boxes
stacked around the room
a couple of bears on Tuesday
and one in the afternoon
hey, college
Brad:
those were the best days of my life
I found my friends myself and my wife
Pat:
I learned almost everything I know
Without ever gaining knowledge
Brad:
In college
In college
I had such a good time in those 4 years
That I stretched it into 6
Pat:
AND IÂ’D LIKE TO THANK OLÂ’ GEORGEÂ’S BAR
FOR THE CLASSES THAT I MISSED
Brad:
I was searching for the meaning of life
When I saw her walk my way
Both:
And there was no doubt in my mind
That it wasnÂ’t about no GPA
Brad:
Those were the best days of my life
I found my friends myself and my wife
Pat:
Learned almost everything I know
Without ever gaining knowledge
Brad:
In college
Those were the best days of my life
Pat:
I found my friends myself and my wife
Brad:
Learned almost everything I know
Might have gained a little knowledge
Both:
In college (yeah yeah yeah)
In college (yeah yeah yeah)
In college (yeah yeah yeah)
In college (yeah yeah yeah)
