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
