My Wild Youth
Omar's Blues
(David Olney/Bug Music-David Olney Songs)

In my wild youth I had a word
For anything that I might find
If no one listened and no one heard
I didn't care I didn't mind
I just figured my word was the truth
In my wild youth

In my wild youth I hadthe nerve
To keep the beat when the time was rough
I knew I'd get what I deserved
If I waited around long enough
I was bulletproof
In my wild youth

In my wild youth
In my wild youth

In my wild youth I had a heart
I couldn't wait to give away
I knew my lines and I looked the part
And I was looking night and day
Man, I was smooth
In my wild youth

In my wild youth
In my wild youth

In my wild youth I had a girl
Who paid the bills and kept me fed
After taking on the world
I stumbled straight home to her bed
I was her sweet tooth
In my wild youth
In my wild youth
In my wild youth

Play it boys in a minor key
That's the sound that really gets to me
Play it hard and make it ring
Don't change a single thing
Play it boys slow and fast
Good times come but good times never last
Wisdom's wasted on the old
Better waste it while your young
In wild, wild youth
My wild, wild youth
