Back When We Were Young

(альбом: For The People In The Last Hard Town - 1973)

Back when we were young everybody came to see us
Everybody wanted to be us back when we were young
We loved each other so all our friends told one another
And we even told each other back when we were young

It was laughing it was dancing it was cigarettes and bourbon play with kisses
It was alligator shoes and new blue suits and anything that money wishes
It was sitting up all night and waiting for the dawn to bring another wondrous day
It was holding hands and thinking that tomorrow is a million years away
Back when we were young...

It was rolling seventh of a time and thinking it was never ever gonna end
Back then we even thought of time itself as being something as a passing friend
It was buying one another things we didn't need and birthdays were so corny
Back then we even had some friends live as far away as California
Back when we were young
