The day I turned 16,
as I was heading out
My father set me down
to share what life's about
He told me of the passion pits
where young boys get in trouble
With nasty women of the night
who like to kiss and cuddle
You can wash your hands and get them clean
when they get good and filthy
But you can't wash filth out of your mind
can you sweet young Billy?
I then had a choice to make,
my mind would not be swayed
The passion pits were calling me,
Sweet Williams's getting laid

We were drinking and smoking
Doping and a Toking
All without a care in the world
We were loving and living
Taking what was given
More than we could ever deserve
We had no plans for the future
but to be all we could be
We just hoped the flashbacks
would contain the memories
But you see
The 70's were just a little hard on me

I really wish my memory
would help me see more clear
I'd like to recognize me
in the stories that I hear
It seems I was a legend,
a man of myth and lore
Doing lots of things
that had not been done before
Though I can't recall doing things the others saw
I sure do have the scars to document it all
My knees have gone bionic,
my throwing shoulder too
And I have no idea
where I got this damn tattoo

We were drinking and smoking
Doping and a Toking
All without a care in the world
We were loving and living
Taking what was given
More than we could ever deserve
We had no plans for the future
but to be all we could be
We just hoped the flashbacks
would contain the memories
But you see
The 70's were just a little hard on me

We had no phones, no cameras,
To capture what we did
It would be risky, scary, a little more than crazy
Explaining it all to the kids

We were drinking and smoking
Doping and a Toking
All without a care in the world
We were loving and living
Taking what was given
More than we could ever deserve
We had no plans for the future but to be all we could be
We just hoped the flashbacks would contain the memories
But you see
The 70's were just a little hard on me
