We Did It When We Were Young

Don't write me no more letters My mailbox is full of bombs Between you and the kooks on my block I don't remember the good times I wasn't there and you were kind And my wife has some dogs in our yard And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl We were strangers many hours And I missed you for so long When we were lions, lovers in combat Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned But I am older now And we did it when we were young I am older now And we did it when we were young There are no reasons to believe I buried my faith on the block With your heart and your clothes When I find I don't feel you or recall I'll put your bones out in the yard Someone else to be called and called by And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl We were strangers many hours And I missed you for so long When we were lions, lovers in combat Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned But I am older now And we did it when we were young I am older now And we did it when we were young
