Younger Years

Two, one-two-three-four Johnny's in the drive and he's drinkin' 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 tearin' down this town How being young is so painful and strange Deborah's on the bar and she's dancin' again To an old folk song that reminds her of him She ain't gettin' down 'til 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 Lettin' go, movin' on, keepin' strong and findin' God I find it awfully odd we made it here A few good friends on the longest night, gettin' high until we cry Enjoyin' all the pain of younger years And now I'm drunk and walkin' home all alone, my honey Lookin' for a better place to spend my money Like takin' 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 Lettin' go, movin' on, keepin' strong and findin' God I find it awfully odd we made it here A few good friends on the longest night, gettin' high until we cry Enjoyin' all the pain of younger years Enjoyin' 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
