Young Turks (with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra)

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 were so excited

We got but one shot at 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 'em 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

Yeah

Billy pierced his ears

Drove a pickup like a lunatic

Ooh-ooh

Young hearts be free tonight

Time is on your side

Don't let 'em put you down

Don't let 'em push you around

Don't let 'em ever change your point of view

Come on, man

Ooh

(Ooh-ooh)

Young hearts

(Ooh-ooh)

Be free tonight

(Ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh)

Time is on

(Ooh-ooh)

On your side

(Ooh-ooh)

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 talkin' when there's nobody listenin'

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

Young hearts gotta run free

(Hearts, be free tonight)

Be free, live free

Time is on your, time is on your side

Time, time, time

(Time is on your side)

Time is on your side

Is on your side, is on your side

Young heart be free tonight

Tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, yeah

(Time is on your side)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
