And I won't make love to you
And I feel love, feel loveJailhouse gets empty
Rudy gets plenty
The baton stick gets shorter
Rudy gets taller
Can't fight against the youth
Cause we're strong and they're the rude rude people
Can't fight against the youth
Cause we're strong and the rude rude peopleBaby get down
When I was a youth in 1983
It was the best day of my life, had the eighty nine vision
We didn't fuss or no fight
When all the little daughters wanna be my wife
My vision
It was playin' on my guitar, on my guitarI had to be there
I had to be there
I had to be there
I had to be thereWhen the rhythm, playin'
I know that I'm gonna be there yeah
Bud Gaugh will be singing there
And Eric Wilson will be bangin' up there, yea
