James Otto - 3. Misspent Youth lyrics

Seventeen & innocent
I wonder where all the yeahrs went
Lookin´ back on a youth misspent
God, I miss those days

All the chances that we took
Always leaped & never looked
I tell you I could write a book
On all the hell we raised

CHORUS:
THOUGHT I WAS COOL WITH MY LUCKY STRIPES
I DIDN´T START TOO MANY FIGHTS
BUT IN THOSE DAYS I FINISHED QUITE A FEW
BEAT-UP CARS AND THE CHEAPEST WINE
AND ANY TROUBLE WE COULD FIND
THE WORST OF DAYS WERE THE BEST OF TIMES
LOOKIN´ BACK THROUGH LIFE´S REARVIEW
LOOKIN´ BACK
I MISS MY MISSPENT YOUTH

I am no worse now for the wear
I have gotten married & cut my hair
Me & her we are quite a pair
All my friends say

And speaking of old friends
We still talk now & then
´Cept now theres a few of them
You can only reach by prayer

CHORUS:
WE WERE COOL WITH OUR LUCKY STRIPES
DIDN´T START TOO MANY FIGHTS
BUT IN THOSE DAYS WE FINISHED QUITE A FEW
BEAT-UP CARS AND THE CHEAPEST WINE
AND ANY TROUBLE THAT WE COULD FIND
THE WORST OF DAYS WERE THE BEST OF TIMES
LOOKIN´ BACK THROUGH LIFE´S REARVIEW
AND LOOKIN´ BACK
I MISS MY MISSPENT YOUTH

Beat-up cars & the cheapest wine
And any trouble we could find
The worst of days were the best of times
Lookin´ back through life is rearview
And lookin´ back
I miss my misspent youth
I miss my misspent youth
