En la tranquila ciudad de Stillwater, Oklahoma, emergió una banda que llegaría a captar la atención mundial: The All-American Rejects. Fundada en 1999 por Tyson Ritter (vocalista y bajista) y Nick Wheeler (guitarrista y tecladista), ambos eran simples adolescentes con sueños de grandeza y una pasión compartida por la música.
La química entre ellos fue instantánea. Tyson y Nick comenzaron a escribir canciones juntos y, utilizando software de grabación básico, produjeron sus primeros demos. En poco tiempo, la energía y creatividad de la dupla atrajeron la atención de otros músicos locales, completando así la primera formación de la banda.
El arduo trabajo de la banda rindió frutos cuando lanzaron su álbum debut The All-American Rejects en 2002. Este álbum, que incluye éxitos como "Swing, Swing" y "The Last Song", les permitió debutar en la industria musical con gran éxito. El sencillo "Swing, Swing" rápidamente ascendió en las listas de popularidad, llevando a la banda a una gira nacional. Esa oportunidad les brindó una exposición masiva y consolidó su presencia en la escena del pop punk y el rock alternativo.

In the night, in the beat city light,
We steal ourselves away and hold on tight
You were there,
Yeah, we were all there,
Too young, too smart,
Too much for this one town
When we'd get so high we got lost coming down
When we were kids in the street,
Kids in the street
When we were kids in the street,
Just kids in the street
Remember when we...
We used to laugh, we used to cry,
Live and die by the forty-five
Take me back, I'll go there
Who could stop us, and who would care?
Always keep to the kids in the street
We were dreams, we were American Graffiti scenes
No war, no peace, no hope, no means, just us
And the songs with the words we'd sing wrong,
We'd drive until that jealous sun fell down
Just to wash ourselves in the moonlight summer sounds
When we were kids in the street,
Kids in the street
When we were kids in the street,
Just kids in the street
Remember when we...
We used to laugh, we used to cry,
Live and die by the forty-five
Take me back, I'll go there
Who could stop us, and who would care?
Always keep to the kids in the street
And we never felt so alive
And we'd dance all night under the sky
We'd live, we'd breath, we'd die
When the world stood still for you and I
Just you and I
Candles burn, 'cuz the world will always turn
I'll burn both ends until my fire's out
Lost in the darkness I can still scream out
We used to laugh, we used to cry,
Say goodbye to I-35
Take me back, down a dirty road,
Where it went we didn't care to know
A glory night is a story saved
Mark the chapter, but turn the page
Always keep to kids in the street
When we were kids in the street,
Just kids in the street
