Lyrics for Song: Young Turks
Lyrics for Album: Tonight I'm Yours
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've got but one shot at life, let's take it while we're still not afraid
Cause life is so brief, and time is a thief, when you're undecided
And like a fist-full 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 them 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, and 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 them ever change your point of view
Billy wrote a letter back home to Patty's parents, trying to explain
He said, we're both really sorry that it had to turn out this way
But there ain't no point in talking when there's nobody listening
So we just ran away
Patty gave birth to a ten-pound baby boy, yeah
Young hearts be free tonight
Time is on your side
[repeat to fade]
