Young Turks

Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket and a head full of dreams

He said somehow, some way, it's gotta get better than this

Patti packed her bags, left a note for her momma

She was just seventeen

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 exited

We got just one shot of 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 'em 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 two room apartment that was jumping

Ev'ry 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 'em 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 Patti'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 talking when there's nobody list'ning

So we just ran away

Patti gave birth to a ten 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
