Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket and a head full of dreams
He said somehow, some way, it's gotta get better than this.
Patti packed her bags, left a note for her mom, she was just seventeen
There were tears in her eyes, when she kissed her little sister on goodbye.
They held each other tight as they drove on through the night they were so exited
We got just one shot of life, lets take it while were 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, dont 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 tworoom apartment that was jumping every night of the week.
Happiness was found in each others arms as expected, yeah
Billy pierced his ears, drove a pickup like a lunatic, ooo-oh!
Young hearts be free tonight
Time is on your side,
Don't let them put you down, dont let em push you around,
Don't let em ever change your point of view.
Young hearts be free tonight
Time is on your side
Billy wrote a letter back home to pattis parents tryin to explain
He said were both real sorry that it had to turn out this way
But there ain't no point in talking when there is nobody listning so we just ran away
Patti gave birth to a ten pound baby boy, oh yeah!
Young hearts be free tonight, time is on your side.
Young hearts be free tonight, time is on your side.
Young hearts be free tonight, time in on your side.
Young hearts gotta run free, be free, live free
Time is on, on on your side!
Time, time, time, time is on your side!
Is on your side
Is on your side
Is on your side
Young heart be free tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, yeah
