Young Turks by Rod Stewart

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 but 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 'round
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 every 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
Come on, Billy

Young hearts be free tonight, time is on, 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 listening 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
Time is on your, time is on your side
Time, time, time, time is on your side
Is on your side, is on your side

Young hearts be free tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, yeah
Time is on your side
