The Rooms Were So Much Colder Then My Father Was A Soldier Then
And Times Were Very Hard When I Was Young When I Was Young

I Smoked My First Cigarette At Ten And For Girls I Had A That Yen
And I Had Quite A Ball When I Was Young

When I Was Young It Was More Important
Pain More Painful And Laughter Much Louder, Yeah
When I Was Young When I Was Young

I Met My First Love At Thirteen She Was Brown, And I Was Pretty Green
And I Learned Quite A Lot When I Was Young When I Was Young

When I Was Young It Was More Important
Pain More Painful And Laughter Much Louder, Yeah
When I Was Young
When I Was Young

My Faith Was So Much Stronger Then I Believed In Fellow Men
And I Was So Much Older Then When I Was Young
When I Was Young When I Was Young...
