I started out a fine young man
Working on my car
Dating my girlfriend
Who was playing her sister's guitar
We spent a lot of time at her parents house
Everything was going right
Walking the beach at sunset
When kissing her goodnight
I went away to college
Soon we parted ways
Looking at the stars with a new girl
With her I spent my days
I made good money
But soon I could see
This girl was not the one
It didn't take me long to leave
I got away as fast as I could
Somethings just aren't right
I walked the beach in the daytime sun
And slept at home each night
Then my health took a tumble
No one to bring my stories to
Til one day I heard from the girl
I dated in high school
Loyalty-and-friendship like yesterday
Though 50 years have gone by
We're making time for having fun
No need for asking why
We spend a lot of time at my family house
Everything is going right
Walking the beach at sunset
Then kissing her goodnight
Loyalty and friendship
Though 50 years have gone by
We're making time for having fun
No need for asking why
