Misspent Youth

Seventeen and innocent

I wonder where all the years went

Lookin' back on a youth misspent

God, I miss those days

All the chances that we took

Always leaped and never looked

I tell you I could write a book

On all the hell we raised

Thought I was cool with my lucky stripes

I didn't start too many fights

But in those days I finished quite a few

Beat up cars and the cheapest wine

And any trouble we could find

The worst of days were the best of times

Lookin' back through life's rear view

And lookin' back, I miss my misspent youth

I'm no worse now for the wear

I've gotten' married and cut my hair

Me and her we're quite a pair

All my friends say

And speaking of old friends

We still talk now and then

'Cept now there's a few of them

You can only reach by prayer

We were cool with our lucky stripes

Didn't start too many fights

But in those days we finished quite a few

Beat up cars and the cheapest wine

And any trouble we could find

The worst of days were the best of times

Lookin' back through life's rear view

And lookin' back, I miss my misspent youth

Beat up cars and the cheapest wine

And any trouble we could find

The worst of days were the best of times

Lookin' back through life's rear view

And lookin' back, I miss my misspent youth

Lookin' back, I miss my misspent youth

I miss my misspent youth
