Of course I thought it was love
Goodbye to being seventeen
What I'd give to dance again
Like the fools that we were
But we were so good at being young
We discovered places we'd never been
You took my hand, it'll be alright
and drove through the night
And I miss it all the time
But we were so good at being young
We discovered places we'd never been
You took my hand, said it'll be alright
and drove through the night
She must have ran away with the young
Now I dance like a drunkard over the hill
But it's frown upon if you do it alone
Need my girl to believe me
When I say I ain't doing fine
I was only good at being young
We discovered places we'd never been
You took my hand, said it'll be alright
and drove through the night
When we were 17, when we were young
