When You’re Young Songtext
von 009 Sound System

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah

Jamie was a pretty little small town girl
From her daddy′s porch
Watching the world rolling slowly
It always seemed so boring

Her boyfriend Jimmy worked nine-to-five
Doing alright
But thought that he could make a move
Said Jamie baby hit the road with me
Watch what we'll do
No, we won′t lose

'Cause when you're young
You take the money and run
You never realize
When you do it for the first time
That you always pay the price

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah


Late one night on a freeway stop
They took some credit cards
From the glove of a white ′08 corolla
They said they′d be high rollers

And Jimmy bought Jenny some diamonds and pearls
For a week two
They were livin' on top of the world
They hit the road running south
Still thought that they won′t lose
No, they won't lose

′Cause when you're young
You take the money and run
You never realize
When you do it for the first time
That you always pay the price

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Jimmy and Jenny kept running enjoying their lives
Spendin′ all that money, not savin' a dime
Such a good run
They didn't think to try to hold on


First cop shows up at the motel door
Said, "Are you Jimmy James?"
Jimmy says, "Yes, it′s true"
But we′re six miles from Mexico
I know what we'll do
Jimmy and me can′t lose

'Cause when you′re young
You take the money and run
You never realize
When you do it for the first time
That you always pay the price

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
