Young
Song by Jessie Ritter
Running down Thompson Ridge in old blue jeans
A triple backflip off a rusted tire swing
Broken arm and trophy scars
That’s one hell of a way to win a heart
Might kill him ‘fore we’re done
At least it keeps us young
Young, like summer nights
Dancing round in circles, bathing in the moonlight
Young, when you fall so fast
Busy being seventeen and hoping this love lasts
It might kill us ‘fore were done
Love keeps us young
He was smoking those cigarettes down by the dock
Racing my dad’s corvette against the clock
1950 classic red
That slow Patron buzz in our heads
Might kill me ‘fore we’re done
At least it keeps us young
Open arms, falling hard
Can’t keep up with this pace for long
I know I’ll still want you when you’re gone
And be young
A triple backflip off a rusted tire swing
Broken arm and trophy scars
That’s one hell of a way to win a heart
Might kill him ‘fore we’re done
At least it keeps us young
Young, like summer nights
Dancing round in circles, bathing in the moonlight
Young, when you fall so fast
Busy being seventeen and hoping this love lasts
It might kill us ‘fore were done
Love keeps us young
He was smoking those cigarettes down by the dock
Racing my dad’s corvette against the clock
1950 classic red
That slow Patron buzz in our heads
Might kill me ‘fore we’re done
At least it keeps us young
Open arms, falling hard
Can’t keep up with this pace for long
I know I’ll still want you when you’re gone
And be young
