Go Be Young lyrics

Perfumed and smoky  She swears that she knows me  She's falling down drunk again  I say she's mistaken  She's visibly shaken  Emotions all drowned in gin  She said I used to be beautiful  But now it's all gone  I let my dreams slip away from me  That's where it went wrong  Go be young, go be free  Follow your heart where it leads you  Don't end up like me  The Indian in the guardhouse used to spin me yarns  Stories of canyons and Boston in winter  And losing his family's farms  He said I've outlived my three sons, they died in three wars  I laughed and I cried while they lived and they died  And I know that they deserve more  Chorus  Perfumed and smoky She swears that she knows me  I'm falling down drunk again  I say she's mistaken  She's visibly shaken  Emotions all drowned in gin  Isay I used to be powerful  But now it's all gone  I let my dreams take control of me  That's where it went wrong  Chorus
