It was only yesterday, we were young & running free We had the world we were only 17 It was a better time, a time we thought would never end We were the youth, we were all the best of friends Remember friday nights on the backstreets Remember ladies of the night Chorus: We were the young & innocent,remember the nights Where did the times go wrong, we'll never know We were the young & innocent Come alive Where did johnny go ?...i hear he runs the local store The homecoming king & queen now hold their own court Film at 11 shows a casualty The face is 1 i used 2 know Chorus The years have come & gone, but i still can see The memories have just begun Chorus We were the young & innocent, 4ever the nights Keep all our memories alive, we gotta keep 'em alive Chorus
