Lyric Go Be Young

Perfumed and smoky • She swears that she knows me • She s falling down drunk again • I say she s mistaken • She s visibly shaken • Emotions all drowned in gin • She said I used to be beautiful • But now it s all gone • I let my dreams slip away from me • That s where it went wrong • Go be young, go be free • Follow your heart where it leads you • Don t end up like me • The Indian in the guardhouse used to spin me yarns • Stories of canyons and Boston in winter • And losing his family s farms • He said I ve outlived my three sons, they died in three wars • I laughed and I cried while they lived and they died • And I know that they deserve more • Chorus • Perfumed and smoky She swears that she knows me • I m falling down drunk again • I say she s mistaken • She s visibly shaken • Emotions all drowned in gin • Isay I used to be powerful • But now it s all gone • I let my dreams take control of me • That s where it went wrong • Chorus
