Go Be Young

Perfumed and smoky ??â??¢ She swears that she knows me ??â??¢ She's falling down drunk again ??â??¢ I say she's mistaken ??â??¢ She's visibly shaken ??â??¢ Emotions all drowned in gin ??â??¢ She said I used to be beautiful ??â??¢ But now it's all gone ??â??¢ I let my dreams slip away from me ??â??¢ That's where it went wrong ??â??¢ Go be young, go be free ??â??¢ Follow your heart where it leads you ??â??¢ Don't end up like me ??â??¢ The Indian in the guardhouse used to spin me yarns ??â??¢ Stories of canyons and Boston in winter ??â??¢ And losing his family's farms ??â??¢ He said I've outlived my three sons, they died in three wars ??â??¢ I laughed and I cried while they lived and they died ??â??¢ And I know that they deserve more ??â??¢ Chorus ??â??¢ Perfumed and smoky She swears that she knows me ??â??¢ I'm falling down drunk again ??â??¢ I say she's mistaken ??â??¢ She's visibly shaken ??â??¢ Emotions all drowned in gin ??â??¢ Isay I used to be powerful ??â??¢ But now it's all gone ??â??¢ I let my dreams take control of me ??â??¢ That's where it went wrong ??â??¢ Chorus
