It's the sad eyed, goodbye, yesterday moments I remember
It's the bleak street, weak kneed partings I recall
It's the mistier mist, the hazier days, the brighter sun, and the easier lays
There's all the more reason for laughing and crying
When you're younger and life isn't too hard at all
It's the fantastic drowse of the afternoon Sundays
That bored you to rages of tears
The unending pleadings, to waste all your good times
In thoughts of your middle aged years
It's a vertical hold, all the things that you're told
For the everyday hero it all turns to zero
And there's all the more reason for living or dying
When you're young and your troubles are all very small
Out here on the street, we'd gather up and meet
And scuff up the sidewalk with endlessly restless feet
Half of the time, we'd broaden our minds
More in the poolhall than we did in the schoolhall
With the downtown chewing-gum bums
Watching the nightlife, the lights and the fun
Never wanted to be the boy next door
Always thought I'd be something more
But it ain't easy for a small town boy
It ain't easy at all
Thinkin' it right, doing it wrong
It's easier from an armchair
Waves of alternatives wash at my sleepness
Have my eggs poached for breakfast I guess...
I'd like to be Clint Eastwood
Jimi Hendrix, he was great let's try William The Conqueror
Now who else do I like?
