When I Was Young
Barry Jenkins / Daniel McCulloch / Eric Burdon / John Weider / Vic Briggs
The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard
When I was young
When I was young
I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for girls, I hall
When I was young
When I was young it was more important
Pain more painful, the laughter much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young
I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown, and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young it was more important
Pain more painful, laughter much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young
My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow men
And I was so much older then
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young
