[Tom T. Hall - Back When We Were Young lyrics]
Back when we were young
Everybody came to see us
Everybody wanted to be us
Back when we were young
We loved each other so all
Our friends told one another
And we even told each other
Back when we were young
It was laughin', it was dancin'
It was cigarettes and bourbon
Play with kisses
It was alligator shoes and new blue suit's
And anything that money wishes
It was sittin' up all night and waitin'
For the dawn to bring another wondrous day
It was holding hands and thinking
That tomorrow is a million years away
Back when we were young
It was rolling seventh of a time
And thinking it was never ever gonna end
Back then we even thought of time it'self
As being something as a passing friend
It was buyin' one another things
We didn't need and birthdays were so corny
Back then we even had some friends
Live as far away as California
Everybody came to see us
Everybody wanted to be us
Back when we were young
We loved each other so all
Our friends told one another
And we even told each other
Back when we were young
It was laughin', it was dancin'
It was cigarettes and bourbon
Play with kisses
It was alligator shoes and new blue suit's
And anything that money wishes
It was sittin' up all night and waitin'
For the dawn to bring another wondrous day
It was holding hands and thinking
That tomorrow is a million years away
Back when we were young
It was rolling seventh of a time
And thinking it was never ever gonna end
Back then we even thought of time it'self
As being something as a passing friend
It was buyin' one another things
We didn't need and birthdays were so corny
Back then we even had some friends
Live as far away as California
