Lyrics:
She wasn't young, but she still a child
There was innocence in her painted smile
She called to me as I passed her by
Lady of the night looked in
the time
That no wedding bells would chime
I was just a young dreamer, no match for a schemer
Yours was a lover's crime
Folks gossiped--they said it
Well hello, it's never been like this before
And I know you've got a
Big surprise in store
If I could have whatever's in her mind
I would never let
planning on hanging around
People would go on their different ways
I left to start a band
A note came through the letter box
In your childlike hand
She wasn't young, But she still a child
There was innocence in her painted smile
She called to me As I passed her by
Lady of the night Looked in

That both her cruel parents did plan their overthrow
They watched them close one evening,
throw you out
Leave you stranded on the boulevard
You know that I use you up
I used you like I used a mop
Well the band's singing hallelujah

I was a doctor, a lawyer, a senator's son
Brad Pitt's brother and a band on the run
Anything I thought would get the job done
Yeah, we

And if I lost you, would I cry
Oh, how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

So I took my guitar and I sat in
I showed 'em what a band would sound like
When I was just a young man
And I thought the world would wait on me
I was mistaken but now I'm changin'

With a rock and roll band
And I would play in the light of a thousand smiles

When I was a young man, I had to kick and scratch and claw
Now it's like top gun in the Old
Next Sunday it?s my turn to speak to the young peoples' class
And they expect answers to all the questions they ask
What would they say if I spoke

How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

As years pass me by
Ah when young bodies that've grown older
And mind's become dimmer
