back when we were young

back when we were young everybody came to see us, everybody wanted to be us back when we were young, we loved each other so all our friends told one another, and we even told each other back when we were young, it was laughin' it was dancin' it was cigarettes and bourbon play with kisses, it was alligator shoes and new blue suits and anything that money wishes, it was sittin' up all night and waitin' for the dawn to bring another wondrous day, it was holding hands and thinking that tomorrow is a million years away, back when we were young. it was rolling seventh of a time and thinking it was never ever gonna end, back then we even thought of time itself as being something as a passing friend, it was buyin' one another things we didn't need and birthdays were so corny, back then we even had some friends live as far away as california, back when we were young
