The Six Teens

Where were you in sixty-eight

In sixty-eight Julie was Johnnie's date

Two kids growin' together

Livin' each day as if time was slippin' away

Oh, they were just sixteen

And their love a teenage dream

They passed the time, they crossed the line

The line that ran between

Julie and Johnnie now you've made it

But life goes on, you know it ain't easy

You've just gotta be strong

If you're one of the sixteens

And life goes on, you know, you know it ain't easy

You know you'll never go wrong

'Cause you're all part of the sixteens

Suzie and Davey got to make the big time

Maybe they can put it all together

In a show that lasts forever

Oh they would walk the strip at nights

And dream they saw their name in lights

On Desolation boulevard

They'll light the faded light

Suzie and Davey you can make it

But life goes on, you know it ain't easy

You've just gotta be strong

If you're one of the sixteens

And life goes on, you know, you know it ain't easy

You know you'll never go wrong

'Cause you're all part of the sixteens

So where were you in sixty-eight

When Bobby and Billy thought

That sixty eight was out of date

They took the flowers from their hair

And tried to make us all aware

Too bad, too late

So they lived from day to day

And tried to do it all their way

But sixty-eight was sixty-eight

No matter what they say

Bobby and Billy maybe you'll make it one day...
