IT WAS ONLY YESTERDAY, WE WERE YOUNG & RUNNING FREE
WE HAD THE WORLD WE WERE ONLY 17
IT WAS A BETTER TIME, A TIME WE THOUGHT WOULD NEVER END
WE WERE THE YOUTH, WE WERE ALL THE BEST OF FRIENDS

REMEMBER FRIDAY NIGHTS ON THE BACKSTREETS
REMEMBER LADIES OF THE NIGHT

CHORUS:
WE WERE THE YOUNG & INNOCENT,REMEMBER THE NIGHTS
WHERE DID THE TIMES GO WRONG, WE'LL NEVER KNOW
WE WERE THE YOUNG & INNOCENT
COME ALIVE

WHERE DID JOHNNY GO ?...I HEAR HE RUNS THE LOCAL STORE
THE HOMECOMING KING & QUEEN NOW HOLD THEIR OWN COURT

FILM AT 11 SHOWS A CASUALTY
THE FACE IS 1 I USED 2 KNOW

CHORUS

THE YEARS HAVE COME & GONE, BUT I STILL CAN SEE
THE MEMORIES HAVE JUST BEGUN

CHORUS

WE WERE THE YOUNG & INNOCENT, 4EVER THE NIGHTS
KEEP ALL OUR MEMORIES ALIVE, WE GOTTA KEEP 'EM ALIVE

CHORUS
