Verse 1:
Running down Thompson Ridge in old blue jeans
Triple back flip off a rusted tire swing
Broken arm and trophy scars
That’s one hell of a way to win a heart
Might kill him ‘fore we’re done
At least it keeps us young
Chorus:
Young, like summer nights, dancing round in circles, bathing in the moonlight
Young, when you fall so fast, busy being seventeen, hoping this love lasts
It might kill us ‘fore were done
Love, keeps us young
Verse 2:
He was smoking those cigarettes down by the dock
Racing my dad’s corvette against the clock
1950 classic red, that slow Patron buzz in our heads
Might kill me ‘fore we’re done
At least it keeps us young
Chorus:
Young, like summer nights, dancing round in circles, bathing in the moonlight
Young, when you fall so fast, busy being twenty three and hoping this love lasts
It might kill us ‘fore were done
Love, keeps us young
Bridge:
Open arms, falling hard, can’t keep up with this pace for long
I know I’ll still want you when you’re gone
And be Young
Chorus:
Young, like summer nights, dancing round in circles, bathing in the moonlight
Young, when you fall so fast, living like we're seventeen, hoping this love lasts
It might kill us ‘fore were done
It might kill us ‘fore were done
Love, keeps us young
