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
