VERSE:
DmFAm
Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket and a head full of dreams.
DmFAm
He said somehow, some way, it's gotta get better than this.
DmFAm
Patti packed her bags, left a note for her momma, she was just seventeen,
DmFG
There were tears in her eyes when she kissed her little sister goodbye.
DmF
They held each other tight as they drove on through the night
Am
They were so exited.
DmF
We got but just one shot at life, let's take it while we're still not
Am
Afraid.
DmFAm
Because life is so brief and time is a thief when you're undecided.
DmFG
And like a fistful of sand, it can slip right through your hands.
CHORUS:

Young hearts be free tonight.

Don't let them put you down, don't let 'em push you around,
