You sit there in your heart-ache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now Here he comes
He doesnt look a thing like Je-sus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young
Can we climb this mountain
I dont know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now, watch it go
We're burning down the highway sky- line
On the back of a hurricane
That started turning
When you were young
When you were young
And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young
They say the devil's water It ain't so sweet
You dont have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while
You sit there in your heart-ache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now Here he comes
He doesnt look a thing like Je-sus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young
(talks like a gentleman)
(like you imagined)
When you were young
I said he doesnt look a thing like Jesus
(fill)
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know
