Story behind the song
Saw a little old man and wondered, " are our lives so different "
Lyrics
An old man stumbles into the bar
thank God he walks and he doesn't drive his car
He takes his spot right next to the well
a cheerful hello, but he aint doin' to .... well
A young man walks into an Irish pub
He's the guy with a smile always lookin' for love
The bartender knows he drinks a black and tan
now, is he so different from that old....man
The only difference I know
The only difference is this
One likes old "blue eyes"
The other likes KISS
Oh I know Life's only just begun
But, I think Youth is wasted on the young
On the young,,, On the young
A young girl frets about what to wear,
What to do with her make up
what to do with her hair
She's everything magazines expect her to be
believing that beauty is what everybody
sees...
The only difference I know
The only difference is this
One likes old "blue eyes"
The other likes KISS
Oh I know Life's only just begun
But, I think Youth is wasted on the young
On the young,,, On the young
Well I think that
We are in for a
Yes I think that
we are in for a
surprize
An old woman waits for her phone to ring
she casts a glance at a fashion magazine
she thinks of her life and all she's become
a thought skitters by...
Youth is wasted on the..
YOUNG
The only difference I know
the only difference I see
been there done that
and what is destined to be
Oh I know life's only just begun
But I think that Youth is wasted on the young
