My grandpa gave me a weat penny and I kept it in my pocket

Dad took the wheels off of my bike and he pushed me down the hill

That was back when alcohol was only used on cuts

So take a picture of the one you love and put it in a locket
G                               D
Go dig up your time capsule and the blueprints for your rocket

Though love is a loaded gun
              D                  G
You’ve gotta keep your heart young
