Young Turks - Rod Stewart

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

He said somehow, someway, it’s gotta get better than this

Patty packed her bags, left a note for her mama, she was just 17

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

excited

We got but one shot at 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

Young hearts be free tonight

Time is on your side

Don’t let 'em 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 two-room apartment that was jumping every 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

Young hearts be free tonight

Time is on your side

Don’t let 'em put you down

Don’t let 'em push you around

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

Come on, man

Whoo

Young hearts be free tonight

Time is on, on your side

Billy wrote a letter back home to Patty’s parents, trying 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 listening,

so we just ran away

Patty gave birth to a 10-pound baby boy, yeah

Young hearts be free tonight

Time is on your side

Young hearts be free tonight

Time is on your side

Young hearts be free tonight

Time is on your side

Young hearts gotta learn

Time is on, yeah, time is on your side

Time, time, time, time is on your side, is on your side, is on your side

Young hearts be free tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
