Lyrics[]
Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket and a head full of dreams
He said, "Somehow, some way, it's got to get better than this"
Patti 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 held each other tight as they drove on through the night, they were so excited
We got but one shot at life, let's take it while 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 was closed so they headed for the coast in a blissful manner
They took a two room apartment that was jumping every night of the week
Happiness was found in each other's arms as expected, yeah
Billy pierced his ears, drove a pickup like a lunatic, ooh
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
Come on, Billy
Woo
Young hearts, be free tonight
Time is on, on your side
Billy wrote a letter back home to Patti's parents, trying 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"
Patti gave birth to a ten pound baby boy, yeah
Young hearts be free tonight
Time is on your side
Young hearts be free tonight
Time is on your side
Young hearts be free tonight
Time is on your side
Young hearts got to run free, be free, live free
Time is on, time is on your side
Time, time, time, time is on your side
Is on your side, is on your side
Young hearts be free tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh
