When I Was Young

The rooms were so much colder then 
My father was a soldier then 
And times were very hard 
When I was young 
When I was young 

I smoked my first cigarette at ten 
And for girls I had a that yen 
And I had quite a ball 
When I was young 

When I was young it was more important 
Pain more painful and laughter much louder, yeah 
When I was young 
When I was young 

I met my first love at thirteen 
She was brown, and I was pretty green 
And I learned quite a lot 
When I was young 
When I was young 

When I was young it was more important 
Pain more painful and laughter much louder, yeah 
When I was young 
When I was young 

My faith was so much stronger then 
I believed in fellow men 
And I was so much older then 
When I was young 
When I was young 
When I was young 
When I was young 
When I was young 
When I was young 
When I was young
