Young and Free

Young and free, young and free

How I feel in your company

If only yesterday

I'd hesitate to say

What would become of me

Young and free, young and free

Know too much, know too much

Keeps you old and gray

And out of touch

My words, too quick to sound

The arms are slow to fold around

A knowing touch

Young and free, young and free

The clock alarms, the day begins

The lady charms, the money spends

She's trying on, the satin shoes

She wants to fly to Baton Rouge

Ah, the clock alarms, the day begins

The lady charms, the money spends

She wants to buy, the satin shoes

She wants to fly to Baton Rouge

Autumn day, autumn day

Leaves like birds

Up and flown away

Here's to days I used to wake up dead

Alone, stay in bed

The curtains drawn all day

Young and free, young and free

Young and free, young and free
