Young and Free

Lilacs in the valley
That big old tree
Is still there
The way it towered over me
Do the hills still roll
Like the way I roll on
It feels the other day
But its really been so long
Feels like I'll go back some day
But its long, long gone

I miss the clothes I wore
When I was young and free
Not tethered down by what to be
Before my heart was broken
And everything was nearly taken from me
Oh to go back to when I thought I was young and free
Love was a beautiful mystery that awaited me
I felt young and free before I had to really choose
What to be

I think too often then not enough
It's easier that way the past is too rough
The bad always outweighs the good
The good was false and fleeting
And the bad hit like wood
Splintered and never left
Never ever will
I wonder if there is still that house
Proudly sat on the hill

I miss the clothes I wore
When I was young and free
Not tethered down by what to be
Before my heart was broken
And everything was nearly taken from me
Oh to go back to when I thought I was young and free
Love was a beautiful mystery that awaited me
I felt young and free before I had to really choose
What to be

Sometimes I want to go back
Maybe in another life
In this one I really thought I'd be that wife
But who knows what the future holds
But I'll never be young and free
And feel that way again
Unless I might when I'm finally dead

I miss the clothes I wore
When I was young and free
Not tethered down by what to be
Before my heart was broken
And everything was nearly taken from me
Oh to go back to when I thought I was young and free
And love was a mystery that awaited me
I felt young and free before I really had to choose
What to be
