When You Were Young

1. You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch him now, here he comes.

[Chorus1:]
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagine when you were young.

2. 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, easy now, watch it go.

[Chorus2:]
We're burning down the highway skyline on the
Back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young.

And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young.

[Bridge:]
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 and a little while.

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch him now, here he comes.

[Chorus1]

[Coda:]
(talks like a gentleman
Like you imagine) when you were young
I said
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know.
