When I Was Young

Remember that day ..in the parking lot? Just you and me smoking pot The sun was warm, my face was hot I took off my shirt ..you did a shot A young tired soul, with a bottle of gin I was quite young and on a binge I didn't know how this saga would end I finally decided to make amends Then I decided to throw in the towel I quickly departed ..indeed with a foul I changed since then I found a clue.. to happiness without the booze You were me and I was you It was us ..just the two The room is silent, I am alone ..once again When I was young.. it makes me grin
