She spent her childhood
Somewhere deep within Missouri
Grew up faster than her heart
Mom said you're a child of God
She said but mom i'm in such a hurry
Maybe California, Maybe New York

Cause you know we're all young at heart
You taught me so much
& brought me so far
I know you'll understand
I know you felt like me before
Cause you know we're all young at heart

They met at his friend's house
It was cigarettes & Edgar Winter
He told her how he'd like to learn to fly
It went from love to worse
With a child due in December
She left him with a note in July

It said that we're all young at heart
You taught me so much
& brought me so far
I know you'll understand
I know you felt like me before
Cause you know we're all young at heart

I know you'd like for me to stay
& you can have it that way
Cause you never really help me know
& oh you can give me so much
But sometimes love is not enough
No, its not enough for me

She's fifty-four
Felt she needed more than her prescription
Laid for eight days cold on the floor
Finally a neighbor called
He said something seems suspicious
They had to break down the door

They found that we're all young at heart
You taught me so much
& brought me so far
I know you'll understand
I know you felt like me before
Cause you know we're all young at heart

Oh i thought i'd need you
now i need so much more
I thought i'd found the truth
& now it seems like it's still so far
I sold my heart for the perfect drug
But whats the worse
Coming down from the love

We're all young at heart
You taught me so much
& brought me so far
I know you'll understand
I know you felt like me before
Cause you know we're all young
