Rod Stewart - Young Turks lyrics

Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket and a head full of dreams

He said somehow, some way, it's gotta get better than this

Patti packed her bags, left a note for her momma, she was just seventeen

There were tears in her eyes when she kissed her little sister goodbye.

They held each other tight as they drove on through the night they were so exited

We got just one shot of life, let's take it while we're still not afraid

Because life is so brief and time is a thief when you're undecided

And like a fistful of sand, it can slip right through your hands.

Refrein:

Young hearts be free tonight

Time is on your side

Don't let them put you down, don't let 'em push you around

Don't let 'em ever change your point of view.

Paradise was closed so they headed for the coast in a blissful manner

They took a tworoom apartment that was jumping ev'ry night of the week

Happiness was found in each other's arms as expected, yeah

Billy pierced his ears, drove a pickup like a lunatic, ooh!

Refrein.

Young hearts be free tonight

Time is on your side.

Billy wrote a letter back home to Patti's parents tryin' to explain

He said we're both real sorry that it had to turn out this way

But there ain't no point in talking when there's nobody list'ning so we just ran away

Patti gave birth to a ten pound baby boy, yeah!

Young hearts be free tonight, time is on your side (3x).

Young hearts gotta run free, be free, live free

Time is on, time is on your side

Time, time, time, time is on your side

Is on your side (3x)

Young heart be free tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, yeah
