Younger Years

Two

One, two, three, four

Johnny's in the drive and he's drinking again

Rough crowd downtown, but they're all my friends

By the end of the night, I won't recall my name

Well, my Levi jean queen, I've been here all night, see

Someday I'll take you somewhere it never rains

But for right now, I'm tearing down this town

How being young is so painful and strange

Deborah's on the bar and she's dancing again

To an old folk song that reminds her of him

She ain't getting down till they carry her away

She was his Levi jean queen, but he's long gone now, see

End of the night, she'll get choked up by his name

And she'll try her best just to let him go

But she's sick and tired of his rough and younger ways

Letting go, moving on

Keeping strong and finding God

I find it awfully hard we made it here

A few good friends on the longest night

Getting high until we cry

Enjoying all the pain of younger years

Now I'm drunk and walking home all alone, my honey

Looking for a better place to spend my money

Like taking my Levi jean queen to see the stars

Tougher than a lover and meaner than a fighter

Looks to me we got another all-nighter

I think God put us exactly where we are

Letting go, moving on

Keeping strong and finding God

I find it awfully hard we made it here

A few good friends on the longest night

Getting high until we cry

Enjoying all the pain of younger years

Enjoying all the pain of younger years

Johnny's in the drive and he's drinking again

Rough crowd downtown, but they're all my friends

By the end of the night, I won't recall my name
