Back when I was younger
|
Just a blue-eyed restless kid
|
Hangin' round the radio
|
In fact that was all I did
|
Mama said you better son
|
Take good care of school
|
Wasn't one they counted on
|
I was crazy like a dog on the loose
|
|
At the age of fifteen
|
Just another sixties' breed
|
No one really understood
|
What music meant to me
|
Boy you get your education
|
Daddy said to me
|
Thought I'd end up as the black sheep
|
Of the family
|
|
Wild as the river
|
I freaked down the floor
|
Feeding the fever
|
As he kicked in the door and said
|
|
Too late too late too loud
|
I can't take it
|
Too late too late too loud
|
Just turn it down
|
And then I rocked him to the ground
|
Yes I did
|
|
Nineteen years and travelling
|
Got a suitcase in my hand
|
No money in the bank
|
You see but I don't complain
|
Me and the boys are playing hard
|
Running out the line
|
We're out there killing time
|
We're just shaking out some brains
|
|
Racing the crowd
|
Got that rock'n roll feeling
|
Everyone shouts
|
But nobody's screaming
|
|
Too late too late too loud
|
I can't take it
|
Too late too late too loud
|
Now just turn it down
|
|
I can't take it
|
I can't take it
|
|
Too late too late too loud...
