Back When We Were Young - Charlie Louvin

Back when we were young

Everybody came to see us

Everybody wanted to be us back

When we were young

We loved each other so all

Our friends told one another

And we even told each other back

When we were young

It was laughin' it was dancin'

I was cigarettes and bourbon flavored kisses

It was alligator shoes and new blue suits

And anything that money wishes

It was sittin' up all night and waitin'

For the dawn to bring another wondrous day

It was holding hands and thinking

That tomorrow is a million years away

Back when we were young

Everybody came to see us

Everybody wanted to be us back

When we were young

We loved each other so all

Our friends told one another

And we even told each other back

When we were young

It was rolling seventh of a time

And thinking it was never ever gonna end

Back then we even thought of time itself

As being something as a passing friend

It was buyin' one another things we didn't need

And birthdays were so corny

Back then we even had some friends

Live as far away as California

Back when we were young

Everybody came to see us

Everybody wanted to be us

Back when we were young

We loved each other so

All our friends told one another

And we even told each other

Back when we were young
