Well, I was seventeen
Her eyes were denim baby blue
Caught up in a dream
Well, she said she loved me too
Oh we ditched our clothes (ditched our clothes)
For the dirty summer rain
Trade high and lows (trade high and lows)
For the greatest holiday
And now when we lose our heads
Forget all the things our parents said

We all wanna live forever
We don't want to say good night
We sing a song to make it better
Start a fire to burn out bright
But when it's all said (it's all said) and done
We'll be forever young

I was college bound
In the city that never sleeps
Drinking whiskey down (whiskey down)
And sweeping girls right off their feet
We stay up all night and we lose our heads
Forget all the things our parents said

We all wanna live forever
We don't want to say good night
We sing a song to make it better
Start a fire to burn out bright
But when it's all said (all said) and done
We'll be forever young
Well be forever young (we'll be forever young)

So when I'm sixty-four years old
I'll tell my grandkids stay alive and do what your told (oh)
But never take
Cause that whiskey and those women
Every single rest we let and someday
Yeah someday

We all wanna live forever
We don't wanna say good night
We sing a song to make it better
Start a fire to burn out bright
But when it's all said (it's all said) and done
(And it's said and it's said and it's said...and done)
We'll be forever young
Well, I was seventeen
Her eyes were denim baby blue
