Back When the Age Was Young

back when the age was young
vermin bulls grew
sweet blossoms blew
even your minds
ran with the truth
was no surprise
covered our youth
covers all youth
live in the night
parents would be
so surprised

here comes a boy
drunk off the junk
happy and proud
to be so in love
the eagle flies high
sleeps in the sky
no dust or money
make this love die
make this love die
the life in the night
the parents would be
so surprised

but her parents back home
never approve
they couldn’t lose
their little girl
so she snuck out each night
doing the worst she can
but theres no man
to stop the boy i am
the life in the night
parents would be
so surprised
so surprised
so surprised
so surprised
so surprised

    The 1st paragraph is wrong, its:

    :trevor:
    back when the age was young
    firm apples grew
    sweet blossoms bloomed
    :trevor:
    even your lies
    ran with the truth
    but there was no disguise
    that covers our youth
    covers our youth
    alive in the night
    our parents would be so surprised
    so surprised

    here comes a boy
    hes drunk off of junk
    happy and proud
    to be so in love
    the eagles fly high
    and sleeps in the sky
    no dust or mud
    can make this love die
    make this love die
    alive in the night
    her parents would be so surpsied
    so surprised

    but her parents back home
    would never approve
    couldnt lose
    their little girl
    so she snuck out each night
    doin the worst she can
    cause there’s no man
    to stop the boy that i am

    alive in the night
    her parents would be so surprised
    so surprised (x5)

    just a beautiful song yet again

    The line “hes drunk off of junk” should say “the jug” instead of “junk.”
