When We Were Young

When We Were Young
Jimmy Fortune/John Rimel
We were just thirteen high school green
Just some all American boys
With a lot to learn and time to burn
We just wanted to make us some noise
So we formed us a band got a few one night stands
And we wore out some cheapo guitars
Time and again we'd cram it all in
To the back of my daddy's ole car
Our hair grew long our hearts beat strong
As we ran out into the night
We pushed to the end then we'd do it again
Oh man what a life
We laughed and we sang our voices rang out
And time seemed to go on and on
There was so much to see what a cool place to be
Oh God we had fun
When we were young When we were young
When we were young When we were young
Time has a way of makin' young hearts grow old
But I won't give in it won't take one piece of my soul
Our hair grew long our hearts beat strong
As we ran out into the night
We pushed to the end then we'd do it again
Oh man what a life
We laughed and we sang our voices rang out
And time seemed to go on and on
There was so much to see what a cool place to be
Oh God we had fun
When we were young When we were young
When we were young When we were young
