To Be Young (Is To Be Sad, Is To Be High) Lyrics by Dave Rawlings Machine

A Friend of A Friend

2009

Young boy done you bad, I went and did you wrong
Young boy done you bad, I went and did you wrong
And I got high, oh Lord, I got high
I got a bone to pick with you
And I hope you know it's true
Oh one day when you're looking back
You were young and, man, you were sad
When you're young, you get sad
When you're young, you get sad
And you get high, oh man
Young girl, you done me bad, you went and did me wrong
Young girl, you done me bad, you went and did me wrong
And I got high high high, oh Lord, I got high
You got a bone to pick with me
But I wish you'd let it be
Oh one day when you're looking back
You were young and, man, you were sad
When you're young, you get sad
When you're young, you get sad
And you get high
And you get high
Oh the days the rain would fall your way
Oh the days the rain would fall your way
And you'll be high 'cause you got sad
'Cause you got sad
'Cause you got high
Ohh man
