This song is about reminiscing on the carefree times of youth and high school football games and dances. The singer recalls practicing dancing in his garage, going to prom with his date Cindy Lou, and borrowing his father's car. He reflects on how time seems to speed by and he will never feel as young or carefree as he did in those days. Now he is watching his own son play football and start a new chapter in his life, realizing those moments of his youth can never be replicated.
