The Night Is Young

What happened to the homecoming king? She thinks about him every September Woke up from the American Dream Needing another night to remember One with magic under the mirror ball Making memories and love in his car No, she never wanted to take it slow Sometimes that's just how the story goes Don't give up when you're down Don't look back on your life like it's over now Sure, we're all gonna die, the time will come And maybe the old days are gone But the night is young What you drinking, son have a seat He said to me and ordered another Woke up from the American Dream Alone after the war he discovered All the ticker tape and the glory fades Life goes on and nothing gold ever stays No, he never wanted to take it slow Sometimes that's just how the story goes Don't give up when you're down Don't look back on your life like it's over now Sure, we're all gonna die, the time will come And maybe the old days are gone But the night is young Yeah, the night is young Kings and queens and soldiers age You can see the writing on their face Played the pawn in every game Quintessential life it seems When you're looking back at seventeen Life is but a dream Don't give up when you're down Don't look back on your life like it's over now Sure, we're all gonna die, the time will come And maybe the old days are gone Don't give up when you're down Don't look back on your life like it's over now Sure, we're all gonna die, the time will come And maybe the old days are gone But the night is young Yeah the night is young, oh the night is young Yeah the night is young
