Lyrics:

The Rooms Were So Much Colder Then
my Father Was A Soldier Then
and Times Were Very Hard
when I Was Young

i Smoked My First Cigarette At Ten
and For Girls, I Had A Bad Yen
and I Had Quite A Ball
when I Was Young

when I Was Young, It Was More Important
pain More Painful
laughter Much Louder
yeah, When I Was Young
when I Was Young

i Met My First Love At Thirteen
she Was Brown And I Was Pretty Green
and I Learned Quite A Lot When I Was Young
when I Was Young

when I Was Young
pain More Painful
laughter Much Louder
yeah, When I Was Young
when I Was Young

my Faith Was So Much Stronger Then
i Believed In Fellow Man
and I Was So Much Older Then
when I Was Young
when I Was Young
when I Was Young
