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 exited
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 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

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 trying' 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, time is on your side
Time, time, time, time is on your side
Is on your side, is on your side
Young heart be free tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, yeah
