Young Turks Lyrics - Singles - Rod Steward

Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket 

And a head full of dreams 

He said - somehow 

someway it's gotta get better than this. 

Patti packed her bags left a note for her mamma - 

She was just seventeen 

There were tears in her eyes when 

she kissed her little sister goodbye. 

They held each other tight as they drove on through the night 

They were so exited. 

We got just one shot at life let's take it while we' re still not afraid 

Because life is so brief and time is a thief when you're undecided 

And like a fistful of sand it can slip right through your hands. 

young hearts be free tonight 

time is on your side. 

Don't let them put you down 

don't let 'em push you around 

Don't let 'em ever change your point of view. 

Paradise was closed so they headed for the coast in a blissful manner 

They took a two room apartment that was jumping every night of the week. 

Happiness was found in each others arms as expected 

Billy pierced his ears 

drove a pickup like a lunatic. 

young hearts be free tonight 

time is on your side. . . . 

- Come on Billy - 

young hearts be free tonight 

time is on your side. 

Billy wrote a letter back home to Patti's parents to try to explain. 

He said we're both real sorry that it had to turn out this way 

But there ain't no point in talking when there's nobody listening 

So we iust ran away. - 

Patti gave birth to a ten pound baby boy 

yeah 

Young hearts be free tonight 

time is on your side 

Young hearts be free tonight 

time is on your side 

Young hearts be free tonight 

time is on your side 

Young hearts gotta run 

be free to live 

Time is on your 

time is on your side. 

Time 

time 

time 

time is on your side 

is on your side 

is on your side 

Young hearts be free tonight 

tonight 

tonight 

tonight 

tonight 

yeah 

Time is on your side.
