Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket
And a head full of dreams
He said - somehow
someway it's gotta get better than this
Patti packed her bags left a note for her mamma -
She was just seventeen
she kissed her little sister goodbye
There were tears in her eyes when
They held each other tight as they drove on through the night
They were so exited
We got just 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 undiceded
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 '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 others arms as expected
Billy pierced his ears
drove a pickup like a lunatic
young hearts be free tonight
time is on your side
- Come on Billy -
young hearts be free tonight
time is 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 here ain't no point in talking when there's nobody listening
So we iust ran away -
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 gotta run
be free to live

Time is on your
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
Time is on your side
