Young Turks

(Verse 1) Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket And a head full of dreams He said "Somehow, someway It's gotta get better than this" Patti packed her bags Left a note for her mama She was just seventeen There were tears in her eyes When she kissed her little sister goodbye They held each other tight As they drove on through thе night They were so еxcited We got but one shot at life Let's take it while we're still not afraid Because life is so brief And time is a thief When you're undecided And like a fistful of sand It can slip right through your hands (Chorus) Young hearts be free tonight Time is on your side Don't let 'em put you down Don't let 'em push you 'round Don't let 'em ever change your point of view (Verse 2) Paradise was closed So they headed for the coast in a blissful manner They took a two-room apartment That was jumping every night of the week Happiness was found in each other's arms As expected, yeah Billy pierced his ears Drove a pickup like a lunatic, ooh! (Chorus) Young hearts be free tonight Time is on your side Don't let 'em put you down Don't let 'em push you 'round Don't let 'em ever change your point of view (Instrumental break) (Verse 3) Billy wrote a letter back home To Patti's parents tryin' to explain He said: "We're both real sorry That it had to turn out this way" But there ain't no point in talking When there's nobody listening So we just ran away Patti gave birth to a ten-pound baby boy (Outro) Young hearts be free tonight Time is on your side Young hearts gotta run free Be free, live free Time is on, time is on your side Time, time, time, time is on your side Is on your side Is on your side Is on your side Young heart be free tonight Tonight, tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight, yeah
