When You Were Young (Live At History) Lyrics

[Intro]
You guys having fun?
On our new record, Jen and I both did one song on our own and we're gonna start doing that in our shows as well just to have a moment where we can breathe offstage and the other one does all the work
Um, but I figured I’d start, uh, my section off with something that's not really country

[Verse 1]
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now, here he comes

[Chorus 1]
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined
When you were young

[Verse 2]
Can we climb this mountain? I don’t know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy, easy now, watch it go

[Chorus 2]
We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young
[Interlude]
And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young
You look great, y'all

[Outro]
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
