Young Turks

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

Patty packed her bags, left a note for her mama, she was just 17

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 them put you down, don't let them 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 2 room apartment that was jumpin' 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

Young hearts be free tonight, time is on your side

Don't let them put you down, don't let them push you around

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

Young hearts be free tonight, time is on your side

Billy wrote a letter back home to Patty'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

Patty gave birth to a 10 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, be free, live free

Time is on, time is on your side

Time, time, time, time is on your side, is on your side

Is on your side

Young hearts be free tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, yeah

(Time is on your side) Ooh, ooh
