You sit there in your heartache   Waiting on some beautiful boy to    To save you from your old ways   You play forgiveness   Watch it now, here he comes      He doesn't look a thing like Jesus   But he talks like a gentleman   Like you imagined   When you were young   When you were young   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      We're burning down the highway skyline   On the back of a hurricane    That started turning   When you were young   When you were young   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 little while      When you were young   When you were young
