When You Were Young

La, la, la, la, la.

La, la, la, la, la.

You sit there in your heartache

Waiting on some beautiful girl to

To save you from your old ways

You play forgiveness

Watch it now

Here she comes

Doen't look a thing like she does,

But she talks like a gentle soul,

Like you imagined

When you were young

Can we climb this mountain

I don't know,

Higher now than ever before.

I know we can make it if we take it slow,

Let's take it easy,

And watch it roll.

We're burning down the highway skyline,

On the back of a hurricane,

That started turnin',

When you were young

When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes

And see the place where you used to live

When you were young

Back when you were young.

They say the devil's water

It ain't so sweet

You don't have to drink right now

But you can dip your feet

Every once in a while. Hey!

Every once in a while. Wooo.

You sit there in your heartache

Waiting on some beautiful girl to

To save you from your old bad ways

Pray forgiveness, boy.

Watch it now

Here she comes

And I don't look a thing like she does,

But I talk like a gentle soul,

More than you ever know.

I'll never look a thing like she does, but I,

Talk like a gentle soul,

More than you'll ever know.

You were young.

La, la, la, la, la.

La, la, la, la, la.

Like when you were young, now.

Said I'll never look a thing like she does,

But I, talk like a gentle soul,

More than you'll ever know.
