Lyrics to Largo by Mike Nash and Kirstie Kraus

We were seventeen, had a fake ID
On a spring break spree chasing everything
I was doing double shots in the back parking lot
Met a girl down from Tennessee

He was actin’ tough, thought he was hot stuff
And my girls wrote him off but he was crackin’ me up
With his trashy jokes and his big ole smile
So I decided to stay for a while

She was looking cute, just a sitting there
She was smiling up at me with a flower in her hair
I knew I was done as the setting sun
First day in and he might be the one
So I gave him my number, and I called you up,
And twenty years later we’re still in love

We were hanging in Largo
Sippin’ coladas
Living our lives like there was no tomorrow
Young and full of crazy dreams
With no responsibilities
Like a spring break love story right out of some TV show
Yeah we started our forever, started our forever in Largo

So now here we are, yeah we’ve come so far
But some days man I swear this life can be so hard
We got bills to pay, ain’t no time for play
We’ve been working seven days and we can’t catch a break
I know what we need, I’ll go pack our bags
Yeah you always seem to know what I’m thinking in my head
We’ve got some money saved, I’ll go gas the car
Leave this big ole city, it aint that far
I’ve been hoping and praying that one day we’d get it back, and just like that

We were hanging in Largo
Sippin’ coladas
Living our lives like there was no tomorrow
Young at heart, but we’re still dreaming
With no responsibilities
Like a spring break love story right out of some TV show
Yeah we started our forever, started our forever in Largo

I don’t want to leave here, so what if we stayed?
You know what I’m thinking girl so whaddaya say?
Could it really be? Sounds so good to me
Well baby, I just signed the deed

So the hell with Chicago,
We’ll keep it in Largo
Living our lives like there’s no tomorrow
Living our dreams and young at heart
Taking it right back to the start
Like a spring break love story right out of some TV show (oh yeah)
Yeah we started our forever, started our forever in Largo
Yeah we started our forever in Largo
