When the sky was gold And I needed no protection But as the wind would blow A thousand miles in no direction Man, it was a beautiful sight Days were soaked in sunlight Just so long ago But lately I like to imagine When I was young Whatever happened it would do me no wrong As long as I could sing my favorite song When I was young, oh And the holidays went on and on We were so high Let the freeway take us into the night And in the dark you sang my favorite song When I was young, oh And the holidays went on and on And on, and on, and on When I was young (Woo!) Now the sky is gray But honestly, it doesn’t hurt me (No) I learned to find my way On the path and no returnin’, oh, oh Everything I’ve left behind I'm reminded every time I meet your eyes We were so bold and brave Baby, can you imagine? When I was young Whatever happened it would do me no wrong As long as I could sing my favorite song When I was young, oh And the holidays went on and on We were so high Let the freeway take us into the night And in the dark you sang my favorite song When I was young, oh And the holidays went on and on And on, and on, and on When I was young (Woo!) When I was young We would play with fire When I was young And we would fuck the price When I was young It was do or die I would give my life just to feel like When I was young [Outro] Ohh, oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh, do or die) When I was young Do me no wrong We were so high Oh, and the holidays went on and on And on, and on, and on When I was young
