[Verse]
BDmilly left his home with a dFollar in his pocket and a hAmead full of dreams.
He said sDmomehow, some way, it's gFotta get better than Amthis.
PDmatti packed her bags, left a nFote for her momma, she was Amjust seventeen,
There were teDmars in her eyes when she kFissed her little sister goodGbye.
They hDmeld each other tight as they dFrove on through the night
They were Amso excited.
We got but jDmust one shot at life, let's tFake it while we're still not
AfrAmaid.
Because lDmife is so brief and tFime is a thief when you're uAmndecided.
And like a fDmistful of sand, it can sFlip right through your hGands.
[Chorus]
Young hCearts be fAmree tonEmight.G
