It was only yesterday, we were young & running free
we had the world we were only 17
it was A better time, A time we thought would never end
we were the youth, we were all the best of friends

Remember friday nights on the backstreets
remember ladies of the night

Chorus:
we were the young & innocent, remember the nights
where did the times go wrong, we'll never know
we were the young & innocent
come alive

Where did johnny go?… I hear he runs the local store
the homecoming king & queen now hold their own court

Film at 11 shows A casualty
the face is 1 I used 2 know

Chorus

The years have come & gone, but I still can see
the memories have just begun

Chorus

We were the young & innocent, 4EVER the nights
keep all our memories alive, we gotta keep 'em alive

Chorus
