These are the nights that never die My father told me One day my father—he told me, "When you get older Your wild life will live for younger days Think of me if ever you're afraid." He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind So live a life you will

Don't think about nothin' (Pre-Chorus) Do you know how it feels To be wanted When you're young

You can dance, you can jive Having the time of your life Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene Digging the dancing queen You're in the mood for a dance And when you get the chance You are the dancing queen Young and sweet, only seventeen Dancing queen

And into the river we'd dive I come from down in the valley Where mister when you're young They bring you up to do like your daddy done Me and Mary we met in high school When she was just seventeen We'd ride out of this valley down to where the fields

So what we get drunk So what we smoke weed We’re just having fun We don’t care who sees So what we go out That’s how it's supposed to be Living young and wild and free When you live like this you’re supposed to party Roll one, smoke one, and we all just

When I think of you Where the love never ends And I see your face Young and so free, smiling at me 'Cause you're right here Magic moments There're the things I will remember Where's the time we spent together laughing Then you walk into my dream dear

(We were young and wild) You’re always in my heart You’re always where I am Oh, you made me feel so alive When I look back I just smile We were young and wild I’ll be coming back again (I remember, I remember back in the day)

When the only thing you want is The only thing that you can't have When the part that you can't take is Knowing you can't take it back She's on the good side, goodbye On the right sight of free And you're on the wrong end of a long night On the left side

For the love, I'd fallen on In the swampy August dawn What a mischief you would bring young darling! When the onus is not all your own When you're up for it before you've grown From the faun forever gone In the towers of your honeycomb I'd a tore your
