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 laughin' it was dancin'
|
It was cigarettes and bourbon flavored kisses
|
It was alligator shoes and new blue suits
|
And anything that money wishes
|
It was sittin' up all night and waitin'
|
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 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 rolling seven all of the 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 buyin' 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
|
