What
the song is about
A sort of musical “If
I’d only known then, what I know now”
– but ending with a realisation that the same
advice applies at any age. |

If
I could go back, for just a couple hours
And talk to myself, when I was 17
I'd probably try to impart a little wisdom
If such could be had from the things I've seen
The first thing I'd
say, is don't ever be afraid now
There's plenty of time for every little thing
And every once in a while you might feel that there's a new
you
Well just step to one side and let him sing
| |
And
keep it up all night long if you can, boy
Don't you believe one word that people say
There's no tomorrow, buddy
There's just today and yesterday
|
Be a friend to a friend
and treat a woman like a lady
Give your momma your love, like you know you should
As for everything else, well it's really pretty simple
Procrastination is bad, and beer is good
| |
And
keep it up all night long if you can, boy
Don't you believe one word that people say
There's no tomorrow, buddy
There's just today and yesterday
|
And if I was 17
Talking to some old guy
Who's trying to tell me just how
I oughta live my life
I'd probably say,
hey
You cannot live it over
You won't take it from me
So take your own advice
| |
And
keep it up all night long if you can, boy
Don't you believe one word that people say
There's no tomorrow, buddy
There's just today and yesterday
