Lyrics

[00:13.30] They can't take it from me if they try
[00:19.14] I lived through those early days
[00:25.08] So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
[00:31.04] Just to keep from getting crazed
[00:42.94] Dressed in black from head to toe
[00:45.98] Two guitars across our backs
[00:48.90] We would walk the city roads
[00:54.86] Seeking someone who would listen to the music
[01:00.72] That we were writing down at home
[01:06.72] But they can't take it from me if they try
[01:12.64] I lived through those early days
[01:18.53] So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
[01:24.56] Just to keep from getting crazy
[01:42.60] Hair slicked back with Vaseline
[01:45.58] Like the pictures on the wall
[01:48.56] Of the local record shop
[01:54.55] Hearing noises we were destined to remember
[02:00.42] We willed the thrill to never stop
[02:18.34] May sweet memories of friends from the past
[02:22.93] Always come to you, when you look for them
[02:30.32] And your inspiration, long may it last
[02:35.22] May it come to you, time and time again
[02:53.96] Now everybody seems to have their own opinion
[03:00.06] Who did this and who did that
[03:05.90] But as for me I don't see how they can remember
[03:11.66] When they weren't where it was at
[03:17.90] And they can't take it from me if they try
[03:23.79] I lived through those early days
[03:29.68] So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
[03:35.67] Just to keep from getting crazed
[03:41.81] I lived through those early days
[03:47.73] I lived through those early days
[03:53.83]
