"Younger Years" lyrics

"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
At the end of the night she'll get choked up by his name
And she'll try her best just to let him go
Well, she's sick and tired of his rough and younger ways

Letting go, moving on, keeping strong and finding God
I find it awfully odd we made it here
A few good friends on the longest night, getting high until we cry
Enjoying all the pain of younger years

And 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 leaner 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 odd 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

Well 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
