Misspent Youth Lyrics - James Otto

Seventeen and innocent 

I wonder where all the years went 

Lookin' back on a youth misspent 

God, I miss those days 

All the chances that we took 

Always leaped and never looked 

I tell you I could write a book 

On all the hell we raised 

Thought I was cool with my lucky stripes 

I didn't start too many fights 

But in those days I finished quite a few 

Beat up cars and the cheapest wine 

And any trouble we could find 

The worst of days were the best of times 

Lookin' back through life's rear view 

And lookin' back, I miss my misspent youth 

I'm no worse now for the wear 

I've gotten' married and cut my hair 

Me and her we're quite a pair 

All my friends say 

And speaking of old friends 

We still talk now and then 

'Cept now there's a few of them 

You can only reach by prayer 

We were cool with our lucky stripes 

Didn't start too many fights 

But in those days we finished quite a few 

Beat up cars and the cheapest wine 

And any trouble we could find 

The worst of days were the best of times 

Lookin' back through life's rear view 

And lookin' back, I miss my misspent youth 

Beat up cars and the cheapest wine 

And any trouble we could find 

The worst of days were the best of times 

Lookin' back through life's rear view 

And lookin' back, I miss my misspent youth 

Lookin' back, I miss my misspent youth 

I miss my misspent youth
