BOYS
Skagarack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we were kids and life went easily.
Hanging around the street at night
Young and reckless in the dark
Oh I remember how it was.
You and I could beat them everyone
Fightin' our way through "danger nights"
Cruisin' around on summer days
Oh I remember how it's was
We were the GO ON BOYS, the go on boys
The go on boys ready to shake it, the go boys
So come on boys, the go on boys, the go on boys
Hungry to play them midnight toys
We were young and strong, out for the fun.
Oh I remember how it used to be
When we were kids and life went easily, yeah
Early youth, already far away
Memories that never fade away
Oh I remember how it was
Refrain

The lyrics capture the spirit of camaraderie and bonding among friends who enjoyed living life to the fullest.

The nostalgia is palpable in the lyrics, and the feelings are universal, making it easy to relate to the experiences and emotions shared in the song.

Oh I remember how it used to be
Reflecting on the past, recalling how things were
When we were kids and life went easily.
Life was simpler when we were young and carefree
Hanging around the street at night
Spending time outdoors at night
Young and reckless in the dark
Being young and unafraid to take risks at night
You and I could beat them everyone
We were confident and thought we could win against anyone
We were the best, we were the stronger ones.
We believed we were better and stronger than anyone else
Fightin' our way through "danger nights"
Making our way through potentially dangerous situations at night
Cruisin' around on summer days
Driving around during the summertime
We were the GO ON BOYS, the go on boys
We were a group of boys that would persist and continue on
The go on boys ready to shake it, the go boys
We were ready to take on any challenge and overcome it
So come on boys, the go on boys, the go on boys
Encouraging our group to persist and go on
Hungry to play them midnight toys
Eager to engage in fun activities at night
We were young and strong, out for the fun.
We were youthful and energetic, enjoying ourselves
Early youth, already far away
Our early youth seemed so long ago
Memories that never fade away
These memories will always stay with us
