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 excited. |
|
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 in on your side. |
|
Young hearts gotta run free, be free, live free |
