The rooms were so much colder then my father was a soldier then and times were very hard when I was young

I smoked my first cigarette at ten and the girls I had a bad yen and I had quite a ball when I was young

When I was young it was more important paid more pain but the laughter much louder yeah when I was young

Met my first love at thirteen she was brown and I was pretty green I learned quite a lot when I was young

The rooms were so much colder my father was a soldier then and times were very hard when I was young

When I was young it was more important paid more pain but the laughter much louder yeah when I was young

When I was young it was more important paid more pain but the laughter much louder yeah when I was young

My faith was so much stronger then I believed in fellow men and I was so much older then when I was young

When I was young when I was young oh oh when I was young ooh ooh ooh ooh oh oh yeah
