Verse

Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket and a head full of dreams.

 He said somehow, some way, its gotta get better than this.

Patti packed her bags, left a note for her momma, she was just seventeen,

 There were tears in her eyes when she kissed her little sister goodbye.

Verse

They held each other tight as they drove on through the night they were so exited.

We got just one shot of life, lets take it while were still not afraid.

Because life is so brief and time is a thief when youre undecided.

And like a fistful of sand, it can slip right through your hands.

Chorus

 Young hearts be free tonight. time is on your side,

Dont let them put you down, dont let em push you around,

Dont let em ever change your point of view.

Verse

Paradise was closed so they headed for the coast in a blissful manner.

They took a tworoom apartment that was jumping evry night of the week.

Happiness was found in each others arms as expected, yeah

Billy pierced his ears, drove a pickup like a lunatic, ooh!

Chorus

Young hearts be free tonight.time is on your side,

Dont let them put you down, dont let em push you around,

Dont let em ever change your point of view.

Instrumental verse

Young hearts be free tonight.time is on your side.
