When We Were Young Official Video

So much to say.
Firstly, Thanks to DJ, Steve, Ozzy, Bob, Tony, and everyone that contributed with pictures.
There is a little story behind this song. The music came all at once one day while I was practicing my guitar. I posted a little clip on the What's The First Line? group facebook page and asked for folks to contribute lyrics. Bob Campbell stepped up and gave the 2nd line of the chorus. It reminded me of a song that an old friend, that I knew from elementary school to just after high school, had written. I could only remember the first line.... "When We Were Young, We Were Wild And Free." Thanks, Tony. The rest came while recording with DJ, Steve, and Ozzy. Such a fun session.
Performed by Michael Duckworth (all guitars and backing vocals)
DJ Poling (all drums and recording)

I'll post the lyrics below.

It didn't seem so long ago
That we ventured out to see
What the future held.
It all seemed so crazy.
Starting out,
We thought we knew it all.
But, we had no clue
That Pride comes before the fall.

When we were young,
We were wild and free.
We didn't have a care.
We were so naïve.
When we were young
We had big dreams
We had big plans
The world was ours, it seemed.

As we went our separate ways
And we rode our separate roads
We took with us
What we've learned from friends so close
All that we were
And all that we are
And all we will be
Starts and ends along life's journey.

Chorus

Now, years have passed
Some friends are gone
But, memories ,,
Will linger on
We were so close.
We made the most.
But, here we stand
All hand in hand.

Chorus

Thank you, Tony. Rest In Peace, my friend.
