 D A x 3
 It's  the sad  eyed goodbbye yesterday's  moments  I'll remember
  It's the bleak  street weak  kneed  partings I recall
  It's the mistier  mist, the hazier  days
  The brighter  sun, and the easy  oles
  There's all  the more reason for laughing  and crying
  When youre younger  and life isnt too  hard at all.
   x 2
  It's the fantastic drowse of the afternoon Sundays that bored you to rages
  of tears
  The unending pleadings to waste all your good times on thoughs of your
  middle aged years
  It's the vertical hold of the things that youre told
  For the everyday hero, it all turns to zero
  And theres all the more reason for living or dying
  When youre young and your troubles are all very small
   x 2
 Out here on the  streets we'd gather and meet
  And scuff  up the sidewalks with endlessly restless  feet
  Half  of the time  we'd broaden our minds more  in the pool halls
  Than we did  in the school  halls.
  With  the downtown chewing  gum bums
  Watching  the nightlife, the lights  and the fun.
   x 2
  I never wanted to be the boy next door, always thought Id be something more
  It aint easy for a smalltown boy, it aint easy at all
  Thinking it right, doing it wrong, it's easier from an armchair
  Waves of alternatives wash over my sleepiness
  Have my eggs paoched for breakfast I guess.
 
  I think I'll be Clint Eastwood
  Jimi Hendrix, he was good
  Let's try William the Conqueror
  Now who else do I like?
