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
