E
Johnny's in the drive and he’s drinkin' again
Rough crowd downtown, but they're all my friends
       A                    B               E
By the end of the night, I won’t recall my name
E
Well, my Levi jean queen, I've been here all night, see
     A                      B             E
Someday I'll take you somewhere it never rains
E
But for right now, I'm tearin' down this town
           A           B             E
How being young is so painful and strange

Deborah's on the bar and she's dancin' again
To an old folk song that reminds her of him
She ain’t gettin’ down 'til they carry her away
She was his Levi jean queen, but he’s long gone now, see
End of the night, she'll get choked up by his name
And she'll try her best just to let him go
But she's sick and tired of his rough and younger ways

Chorus:
         A         E
Lettin’ go, movin' on
           B               C#m
Keepin' strong and finding God
             A     E               B
I find it awfully hard we made it here
             A                     E
A few good friends on the longest night
         B            C#m
Gettin' high until we cry
A        E                 B
Enjoyin' all the pain of younger years

Now I'm drunk and walkin' home all alone, my honey
Lookin' for a better place to spend my money
Like takin' my Levi jean queen to see the stars
Tougher than a lover and leaner than a fighter
Looks to me we got another all-nighter
I think God put us exactly where we are

Chorus

Enjoyin' all the pain of younger years

Johnny's in the drive and he's drinkin' again
Rough crowd downtown, but they're all my friends
By the end of the night, I won't recall my name
