[Verse 1]
In his mind he was a man, at least he thought he was
It's hard to understand how old is old enough
Yeah, she was his girl, they met back in high school
And they ran off and got married because they thought that it'd be cool
They'll never see what you are to me
All that I want, all that I believe is

[Chorus]
They say we're too young to understand
They don't know how it feels when I hold your hand
They say we've got to prove what we're made of
You and me against the world
Outlaws of love

[Verse 2]
The honeymoon was over, the money'd all been spent
Felt like he was kidnapped, his ransom was the rent
Spent too much time crying, holding onto pride
He talks about a promise, he'd look her in the eye

No time to cry living on the run
We never know if our day will come

[Chorus]
They say we're young and don't understand
They don't know how it feels when I hold your hand
We'll save our dreams before they turn to dust
They'll be no surrender for
Outlaws of love, outlaws of love, outlaws
[Verse 3]
You know it isn't easy to sink or rise above
These days you're two paychecks away, isn't that simple enough
Now I hope we can laugh when we look back on these years
We'd say about the hard times just sinking from our beer

[Chorus]
