Misspent Youth Lyrics
Seventeen and innocent
I wonder where all the years went
Lookin' back on a youth misspent
God, I miss those daysAll the chances that we took
Always leaped and never looked
I tell you I could write a book
On all the hell we raisedThought I was cool with my lucky stripes
I didn't start too many fights
But in those days I finished quite a fewBeat up cars and the cheapest wine
And any trouble we could find
The worst of days were the best of times
Lookin' back through life's rear view
And lookin' back, I miss my misspent youthI'm no worse now for the wear
I've gotten' married and cut my hair
Me and her we're quite a pair
All my friends sayAnd speaking of old friends
We still talk now and then
'Cept now there's a few of them
You can only reach by prayerWe were cool with our lucky stripes
Didn't start too many fights
But in those days we finished quite a fewBeat up cars and the cheapest wine
And any trouble we could find
The worst of days were the best of times
Lookin' back through life's rear view
And lookin' back, I miss my misspent youthBeat up cars and the cheapest wine
And any trouble we could find
The worst of days were the best of times
Lookin' back through life's rear view
And lookin' back, I miss my misspent youthLookin' back, I miss my misspent youth
I miss my misspent youth
