Back When We Were Young Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

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' 

I was cigarettes and bourbon flavored kisses 

It was alligator shoes and new blue suits 

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 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 rolling seventh of a time 

And thinking it was never ever gonna end 

Back then we even thought of time itself 

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 

Back when we were young
