When You Were Young

La, la, la, la, la. La, la, la, la, la. You sit there in your heartache Waiting on some beautiful girl to To save you from your old ways You play forgiveness Watch it now Here she comes Doesn't look a thing like she does, But she talks like a gentle soul, Like you imagined When you were young Can we climb this mountain I don't know, Higher now than ever before. I know we can make it if we take it slow, Let's take it easy, And watch it roll. We're burning down the highway skyline, On the back of a hurricane, That started turnin', When you were young When you were young And sometimes you close your eyes And see the place where you used to live When you were young Back when you were young. They say the devil's water It ain't so sweet You don't have to drink right now But you can dip your feet Every once in a while. Hey! Every once in a while. Woo. You sit there in your heartache Waiting on some beautiful girl to To save you from your old bad ways Pray forgiveness, boy. Watch it now Here she comes And I don't look a thing like she does, But I talk like a gentle soul, More than you ever know. I'll never look a thing like she does, but I, Talk like a gentle soul, More than you'll ever know. You were young. La, la, la, la, la. La, la, la, la, la. Like when you were young, now. Said I'll never look a thing like she does, But I, talk like a gentle soul, More than you'll ever know.
