This song is a lighthearted tale of friendship and foolish rivalry, where two buddies go to absurd lengths competing for a woman who never had interest in either of them. With humor and self-awareness, it celebrates how ego fades, laughter returns, and true bonds survive once the chase proves meaningless.

Song Lyrics
×
(Strophe)
Me and Johnny been tight since the back-porch days.
Riding old dirt bikes through a summer-long haze.
Never thought a girl could shake that Ground.
Till she walked in, and our brains skipped town.
Johnny puffed his chest, said, "She's my kinda flame".
I laughed, "Man, she don't even know your Name".
We shook on a bet, like fools in the sun.
Two grown men tryna prove who's the better one.
(Refrain)
And we're out here, fighting for a Maybe.
Yeah, out here, acting kinda crazy.
Two fools rolling like a runaway Train.
For a girl who don't remember our names.
Oh we're out here, out here, chasing nothing at all.
Swinging for the moon while she's watching us fall.
(Strophe)
So we hit the gym, tried to outlift fate.
He benched three plates, I nearly dislocated.
Tried reading big books to look sharp and wise.
Fell asleep so fast we didn't finish page five.
Tried cooking her dinner, set the stove on fire.
Johnny's chili made the smoke alarm retire.
Still we strutted around like kings of the bar.
But she never noticed - didn’t know who we were.
(Refrain)
And we're out here, fighting for a Maybe.
Yeah, out here, acting kinda crazy.
Two fools rolling like a runaway Train.
For a girl who don't remember our names.
Oh we're out here, out here, chasing nothing at all.
Swinging for the moon while she's watching us fall.
(Strophe)
Then she looks at us both and she shrugs real slow,
Says, "Boys... I'm flattered, but the answer's no".
"Not you, not him, not today, not ever".
And just like that - our big war ended forever.
(Refrain)
And we're out here, fighting for a Maybe.
Yeah, out here, acting kinda crazy.
Two fools rolling like a runaway Train.
For a girl who don't remember our names.
Oh we're out here, out here, chasing nothing at all.
Swinging for the moon while she's watching us fall.
(Refrain)
'Cause we were out here, fighting for a Maybe.
Yeah, out here, acting kinda crazy.
Two fools rolling like a runaway Train.
For a girl who don't remember our names.
Now we're right back where we started again.
Just two dumb buddies laughing at the whole damn thing.
