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
