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 mama
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 excited
We got one shot of 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 other’s arms
As expected
Billy pierced his ears
Drove a pickup like a lunatic
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
Billy wrote a letter back home
To Patti’s parents tryin’ 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 just ran away
Patti gave birth to a ten-pound baby boy
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
