"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
Thanks to Ben Wheeler for correcting these lyrics.

Should've known better than to take that curve so fast

Josh Abbott Band - "Wasn't That Drunk" Small talk and old friends
Catching up on how you've been
That smile I missed

Tanner Usrey - "Beautiful Lies" I'd steal the moon from the stars
Just to get to where you are
But it seems these days you're so damn far away
And I know everything has changed
Nothing's supposed to stay the same
