Billy left his home with
a dollar in his pocket
and a head full of dreams
He said somehow, some way,
it 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

They held each other tight
as they drove on through
the night they were
so exited
We got just one shot of 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'em
push you around,
don't let'em 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

Billy wrote a letter back
home to Patti's parents
tryin' 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 listlist'ning 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,
