Back When We Were Young lyrics

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, 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 rolling sevens every time

And thinking it was never ever gonna end

Back then we even thought of time itself

As being something of 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
