billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket
and a head full of dreams
he said somehow someway it's gotta get better than this
patty packed her bags left a note for her mama
she was just seventeen
there were tears in her eyes
when she kissed her little sister goodbye
they had each other died as they drove into the night
yeah we're so excited
we got the one shot of life
let's take it right
we're 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
don't let them push you around
don't let them ever change your point of view
paradise is closed so they head for the coast
in a blissful man
they took a two room apartment
that was jumping every night of the week
happiness is found in each other's arms as expected
yeah billy pieces years over
pick up like lunatic oh
young hearts be free tonight
time is on your side
don't let them put you down
don't let them push you around
don't let them ever change your point of view
young hearts be free tonight
time is on your side
billy wrote a letter back home
to bet his parents tried to explain
he said we're both real sorry that it had
to turn out this way
but there ain't no point in talking
when there's nobody listening
so we just ran away
daddy gave birth to a ten pound baby boy yeah
young hearts be free tonight
be free tonight
time is on your side
is on your side
is on your side
is on your side
young hearts be free tonight
be free tonight
time is on your side
on your side
young hearts be free tonight
time is on your side
young hearts be free tonight
