Young Turks

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 momma, 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 the night, they wеre so excited Wе got one shot in 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 Young hearts be free tonight Time is on your side Don't let them put you down Don't let 'em push you around Don't let 'em ever change your point of view 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 Billy pierced his ears, drove a pickup like a lunatic, ooh Young hearts be free tonight Time is on your side Don't let them put you down Don't let 'em push you around Don't let 'em ever change your point of view Young hearts be free tonight Time is on your side 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, yeah Young hearts be free tonight Time is on your side Young hearts be free tonight Time is on your side Young hearts be free tonight Time is on your side
