When I Was Young Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard
When I was young
When I was young
[Verse 2]
I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for girls, I had a bad yen
And I had quite a ball
When I was young
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
When I was young, it was more important
Pain more painful
The laughter much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young
[Verse 3]
I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot
When I was young
When I was young
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
When I was young, it was more important
Pain more painful
Laughter much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young
[Verse 4]
My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow men
And I was so much older then
When I was young
When I was young
[Outro]
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young...
