I can still see mama clear as day
Lookin in the mirror countin the grey
Rantin and ravin about pushin 40 and the laws of gravityIt was hard for me to wrap my mind
Around anything other than Friday night
My world was girls and cars and beer
And hank at 17And the other side of 35 was a spot cross the state route road
It was a nowhere no rules no easy way to get to
Hang where wed all go
there was no place else wed rather be
We were young, we were cool, we were wild and free
Having the time of our lives
On the other side of 35Never thought of growing up back then
But 20 came and 30 went
And 35 turned into more than a sign on an overpass
And its a lot years from 17
But it aint as old as it used to seem
When life was whiskey bent and hell bound screamin through the dash[Repeat chorus]Well now it aint there
And I aint there no more
But thats ok cause thats what a memorys for[Repeat chorus]And now Im havin the time of my life
Here on the other side
